what is extra dumb is that by the time this passes and reaches an enforcement window, you will likely see various smartphone manufacturers no longer having any plug whatsoever and only using wireless charging and wifi direct connections for computer/phone connections (ya know, in order to make it super waterproof for all there retards that keep dropping their phones in the toilet). that would mean that the EU market would then be forced to have literally gimped devices compared to the rest of the world when it comes to water proofing.

Also what happens when the next iteration of USB/charging/whatever comes around? how long would manufacturers have to keep using USB-C when better options will be available because of this stupid EU regulation?

Wireless woiuld be great. But, it adds to the cost. So, the cheapest phones might not get it unless it gets really, really cheap.
