In blow to Apple, EU may require USB-C chargers for all smartphones

The European Commission is considering a plan to impose a universal charger for all brands of mobile phones, tablets and headphones.

A legislative proposal presented on Thursday details why there should be a common charging port for mobile phones, tablets and headphones.

The move would likely affect iPhone-maker Apple the most.

Its chargers are used exclusively for Apple products.

Supporters say the move would create a more convenient market for consumers.
