After the EU, India has now made USB Type-C a standard and wants all smartphone makers to adopt it for all devices by 2025. The EU also requires all smartphones and portal devices to come with USB-C by 2025 in the region, solely to curb the production of e-waste.
It is suggested that apart from making USB-C a standard charging port for smartphones, India also plans to adopt one for wearable devices. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has come up with quality benchmarks, which should be followed by OEMs for their products.
While most Android OEMs will be easily able to accept the change, given that most smartphones these days come with USB-C, it remains to be seen how quickly Apple adjusts. The Cupertino giant has already confirmed that it will adhere to the new law and we might get to see the next-gen iPhone 15 series with USB-C.
