BREXIT WAS A LIE!!!
Imagine the UK (or worse, each of the British countries) had a separate charger standard despite the charger standard in the EU.
Like having a different wall outlet standard.
Like driving on the other side of the road.

While this would infuriate the living piss out of me, I find the idea funny as hell for some reason
BS 1363, I don’t need to imagine /s
This is just to avoid becoming the dumping ground for previous gen tech.
Makes sense.
I mean the reality is that products will just use USB C anyway (they already do!) because it’s cheaper to have one product design than to have two or more (see how iPhones even outside of the EU all use USB C despite it not being required), but sure, why not make it official too.
Most will probably use USB-C and it’s just a good law in general. But I think one reason to adopt it instead of just assuming that it will happen anyways is that if they don’t, they might end up being the dumping ground for whenever someone has a product that uses an older connector like micro USB simply because they are that tiny bit cheaper or just excess inventory.
