The chargers l have work just fine. Why do I need to change them?

[-] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 3 months ago

You'll probably need them for old devices. But generally you'll just need a USB A to C cable.

Why does it need to change? The older connectors were too fragile, and needed to be too big of that were to support fast data. USB C can do all of the current data standards and is a pretty robust connector

You may want a newer charger anyway in order to charge faster

Good ๐Ÿ‘ I just hope nothing replaces USB-C anytime soon

"Starting today, all new mobile phones, tablets, digital cameras, headphones, speakers, keyboards and many other electronics sold in the EU will have to be equipped with a USB Type-C charging port," the EU Parliament wrote on social media X.

seems like probably yes!
