European Members of Parliament (MEPs) have voted overwhelmingly in favor of pressuring the European Commission (EC) to beef-up rules on common mobile chargers by July 2020.
MEPs yesterday approved the common mobile charger resolution with 582 votes in favor and 40 against the proposal, Reuters reported.
iPhone-maker Apple has campaigned against any law that would require it to adopt a standard charger, which would force it to fall in line with Android phones and use a USB-C connector instead of its own Lightning connector.
