The proposed legislation is designed to cut waste and make life easier for consumers who would theoretically be able to use one charger for multiple devices.
It could have a huge impact on Apple as the company still uses its own Lightning connector to charge iPhones.
Rivals like Samsung and Huawei have equipped some of their latest phones with USB-C ports, while many of their older handsets have micro-USB ports.

It's all about money from Apple's perspective. Apple will earn less as they cannot sell apple chargers anymore in EU.
