歐盟將強制統(tǒng)一手機充電接口

Manufacturers will be forced to create a universal charging solution for phones and small electronic devices, under a new rule proposed by the European Commission (EC).

根據(jù)歐盟委員會(EC)提出的新規(guī)，制造商將被迫為手機和小型電子設備提供通用充電解決方案。

The aim is to reduce waste by encouraging consumers to re-use existing chargers when buying a new device.

其目的是通過鼓勵消費者在購買新設備時重復使用現(xiàn)有充電設備來減少浪費。

All smartphones sold in the EU must have USB-C chargers, the proposal said.

該提案稱，在歐盟銷售的所有智能手機都必須配備USB-C充電器。

Apple has warned that such a move would harm innovation.

蘋果公司警告，此舉將遏制創(chuàng)新。

"We remain concerned that strict regulation mandating just one type of connector stifles innovation rather than encouraging it, which in turn will harm consumers in Europe and around the world," the firm told the BBC.

蘋果公司告訴英國廣播公司："我們堅持認為，嚴格規(guī)定只能使用一種連接線會扼殺創(chuàng)新，而不是鼓勵創(chuàng)新，這反而會損害歐洲和世界各地消費者的利益。"
