Let's hope so, the EU has been on a good streak lately regarding consumer rights.
Yeah the idea of only needing to purchase and carry one charging brick and USB-C cable for all devices I own is lovely.
Only issue kind of is smart watches.
but trying to fit a receptacle in a smart watch is also not a good solution.
including a small usb-c to whatever the hell adapter would be great too. just so the cable isn't in the way all the time.
I mean I imagine most all smart watches will switch to a portless design with a wireless puck, then you just make the puck detachable from the cable and with a USB-C port on the side. Problem solved.
Qi charging has improved, but still can't beat a plug. When you forget to charge your watch and in a hurry it's hard to beat a plug charge.
