  The c port is specifically for mobile devices iirc. You will still see A ports on computers and laptops, but phones, tablets, and probably some wearables will be USB-C port only

    Devices can still have any port - it’s just that at least one of them has to be the “common” charger port (as far as I know, USB-C isn’t part of the legislation. It has provisions for the industry to adopt something different in the future).

      Yes, I was glad reading the EU commission proposals seeing it allows for newer emerging standards.

      The main talking point of people on Reddit/Lemmy who rallied against this law were people saying it would make us stuck on USB C forever. Clearly that was nonsense.
