Please do this for things like rechargeable electric shavers and toothbrushes as well.
The chargers l have work just fine. Why do I need to change them?
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 ๐ I just hope nothing replaces USB-C anytime soon
Praise the EU
will ti 84 calculators have to follow this?
"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.
