EU Requires USB-C on All Devices & P*sses Off Apple – TLDR News
This week the EU officially announced their intention to make USB-C mandatory on all mobile devices. They say that it will make things simpler for consumers & massively reduce e-waste; however, Apple takes a different view arguing it will stifle competition. So in this video, we unpack what the new EU ruling means, when it will come into force and if Apple is right.

Earlier this week, a trade war broke about between the US and Canada. But the EU, a more Canada-aligned ally, appears to have a pretty muted response so far. So, in this video, we’re taking a look at the escalating US-Canada trade war, how it’s pushing Canada towards the EU and how the EU is responding.

Lightning is great! It’s half of why I switched to iOS.. it just holds up better Long term. I have lightning devices that date back to 2015, were charged daily for years and still feel great. I can’t say the same for usbC. Frankly it’s barely better than micro. Could lightning use an upgrade? I don’t care personally but sure.. do we need a one cable standard? Nah.. would it be nice? Sure. But C ain’t the one. Again, it’s a fragile, barely better than micro port. I don’t know why everyone is creaming themselves over it now.
The environment argument is dumb too.. do you really think a cable a year per person is going to be a significant cut in waste? Fucking really?
