EU Wants to Force Apple and Android to Use the Same Chargers

Malabo ata that Apple will "downgrade" to a USB port.
If Android phonemakers will adopt Lightning, they'll have to pay Apple for the licensing/rights.

No chance in hell imho

You know what's far more annoying? Power outlets/plugs that vary from country to country.

That's why a universal travel plug should come in handy alongside adapter chargers with different sockets for android and apple.

You know what is annoying? Ang AC supply ng pinas ay 220V, pero ang plug na ginagamit natin ay pang 110V.

Nung time na hindi pa uso ang autovoltage sa mga appliance.

Pag meron pasalubong na appliance from USA, need mo gumamit ng plug adapter.

Pag meron pasalubong na appliance from Japan, need mo gumamit ng transformer.

Siguro the best option para sa mga CP or similar devices ay wireless charging.

I once blew up a laser printer. Three times in a row.

That's what you get for making a teenager do office work...

its for standardization:

Just imagine kung ung Shell at Petron ay meron kanya kanyang nozzle para sa gas tank, so hindi ka pwede magpakarga sa kahit saang gas station.

kung pare pareho tayo ng plug ng charger, time will come na ung pag purchase mo ng CP optional na ung charger, hopefully it will come to cheaper CP cost.

Hmm...more like "teenager trying to avoid work" ata.

"Ay, sumabog? Naku di ako makatrabaho nito"

dunno, i think most manufacturers will still insist on supplying their own charger, especially for the more expensive units. Remember the exploding iphone last year? That was because they used "3rd party" chargers.

Not that i'm against having universal charging/data ports, pero tingin ko malabo mangyari.
