While the European Commission recommended using a universal charger on all mobile phones, the first reaction to this recommendationcame from Apple . The company, whose charger prices are expensive compared to its competitors, claims that the decision will 'harm the economy'. If the European Commission's proposal is valid, every charger will be able to charge the battery of every phone.
THE FIRST REACTION FROM THE WORLD GIANT
The US-based technology company Apple has claimed that the obligation of a "universal charger" will harm the European economy. Maros Sefcovic, the European Commission Inter-agency Relations official, said that a universal charger to be used on all mobile devices will have an impact on reducing electronic waste and will make customers' technology use more convenient
Apple's statement on Thursday, the European Commission's proposal to create a universal charger for charging phones worldwide, said the decision would not innovate or even slow it, contrary to expectations.
In the statement, which emphasized that such a change would "harm customers in Europe and the economy in general", it was underlined that the commission cannot "restrict" Apple's ability to "offer new technologies to its customers".
