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.
My Apple Watch has a usb-c cable with a puck. One charging brick is sufficient, at least for my iPhone, Kindle and Watch. But there are so many other devices
The issue is then that's one USB-C to Cable for all your devices except for the watch which needs one USB-C to puck... The solution would be a puck with a detachable USB-C to C cable.
Then I could take a Laptop, Phone, Tablet (if required) and Watch and just one cable/charging brick.
My watch isblike that. It's an old Huawei Watch GT and has a puck to charge wich I plug in my USB-C cable in.
Yeah that would be ideal, I've found a few third party solutions with detachable USB-C pucks for the Apple watch, a first party solution would be ideal though.
