Abavelisi baza kunyanzeleka ukuba benze isisombululo sokutshaja esisetyenziswa ngokubanzi kwiifowuni kunye nezixhobo ezincinci ze-elektroniki, phantsi komthetho omtsha ocetywayo yiKhomishini yaseYurophu (i-EC).

Injongo kukunciphisa inkunkuma ngokukhuthaza abathengi ukuba basebenzise kwakhona iitshaja ezikhoyo xa bethenga isixhobo esitsha.
Zonke ii-smartphones ezithengiswa kwi-EU kufuneka zibe neetshaja ze-USB-C, itsho njalo isiphakamiso.

I-Apple ilumkisile ukuba intshukumo enjalo iya konakalisa ubuchule.

Le nkampani inkulu yezobuchwepheshe yeyona nkampani iphambili eyenza iifowuni eziphathwayo ezisebenzisa izibuko lokutshaja elenziwe ngokwezifiso, njengoko uthotho lwayo lwe-iPhone lusebenzisa isixhumi esenziwe yi-Apple esithi "Lightning".

“Sisaxhalabile kukuba imithetho engqongqo eyalela uhlobo olunye nje lwesixhobo sokudibanisa iyayithintela into entsha endaweni yokuyikhuthaza, nto leyo eya kwenzakalisa abathengi eYurophu nakwihlabathi liphela,” utshilo inkampani kwi-BBC.

Uninzi lweefowuni ze-Android ziza nee-USB micro-B charging ports, okanye sele zitshintshele kumgangatho we-USB-C wanamhlanje.

Iimodeli ezintsha ze-iPad kunye ne-MacBook zisebenzisa ii-port zokutshaja ze-USB-C, njengoko kunjalo neemodeli zeefowuni eziphezulu ezivela kubavelisi abadumileyo be-Android njengeSamsung kunye neHuawei.

Olu tshintsho luza kusebenza kwizibuko lokutshaja emzimbeni wesixhobo, ngelixa isiphelo sentambo eqhagamshelwe kwiplagi sinokuba yi-USB-C okanye i-USB-A.

Malunga nesiqingatha seetshaja ezithengiswa ngeefowuni eziphathwayo kwi-European Union ngo-2018 zazinesixhumi se-USB micro-B, ngelixa i-29% yayinesixhumi se-USB-C kunye ne-21% yesixhumi seLightning, uphando lweCommission impact assessment ngo-2019 lufumanise ukuba.

Imithetho ecetywayo iya kusebenza kwezi:

ii-smartphones
iipilisi
iikhamera
ii-headphones
izithethi eziphathwayo
iikhonsoli zemidlalo yevidiyo eziphathwayo
