Universal USB-C Charger Mandate Begins in France on December 28, 2024; Laptops by April 2026
Dec 27, 2024, 09:47 AM
Starting December 28, 2024, all new small electronic devices sold in France will be required to use a universal USB-C charger. This regulation, mandated by the European Union, aims to simplify charging solutions and reduce electronic waste. The new rule will apply to smartphones, tablets, and other portable devices. Additionally, laptops will need to comply with this standard by April 28, 2026. This transition marks a significant shift away from previous charging standards, such as Micro USB, and is expected to impact various manufacturers, including Apple, which has already begun withdrawing certain iPhone models from the market in response to the new regulations.
