"The new law is part of the EU’s goal to make electronic products sold within member states more sustainable and to reduce e-waste while helping consumers carry one single charger for all their devices."
And what if I want to charge my phone and tablet at the same time? I won't wait for my phone charge up so that I can charge my tablet.

R, 16 Jun 2022You do realize it wasn't Samsung who did it first, but... moreNot a problem. Two USBC ports and a dual USB high power supply. Issue solved.
edit: For all I know there's already an exception for devices that draw more power, but really this is a non-problem.

For Xiaomi and Oppo it's actually good for some reasons, as I wish you good luck finding their 67W or 120W chargers for sale easily. In terms of USB-C coming out in 2014, it takes time to get laws such as this on the table. This has probably been in the works for like 5+ years-

Isn't this move too late... I think the entire World should have done this in 2012 or 2014.
Now every companies moving to wireless charging, least they can frame a uniform technology standard for wireless charging.

couldnt come soon enough, about time apple got rid of that archaic lightning for its phones, i hate having multiple cables for various tech when all should simply adopt a single standard, almost every phone, most tablets and anything worthy of being techy is already on usb-c, quite frankly ditch the cables for phones as well after 2024, no need to have them, companies should make them a free optional extra if purchased online, some people would take them up but most already have plenty of cabling laying around, I pretty much charge my entire kit by dairy chaining to my 100w laptop plug

Lmao. Are you serious?
How technologically illiterate are you to think it is viable to use a single serial protocol for all communication and power transfer? Reality does not work that way.
USB-A is also the better port, far more durable, due to being designed for larger devices. And that is already standard on most devices for many things.
