iPhone maker Apple has given its not-so-surprising response to the European Commission’s proposal for a standard phone charger. According to Apple, that rule would stifle innovation and wouldn’t help the environment.
Apple likes to promote the green benefits of its trade-in program, but the Cupertino-based company disagrees with Europe’s idea that a standard charger for smartphones would be good for the continent’s environment.
EU politicians earlier this month outlined plans to introduce stricter regulations to make smartphone makers conform in offering a standard connector, with the main objective of reducing tons of waste in tech accessories.
