Europe's set to mandate common phone chargers -- so where does this leave Apple?
This should be fun – the European Union is almost certain to force mobile device manufacturers, Apple(s aapl) included, to conform to a single battery charger specification, in order to cut down on electronic waste.
It's almost three years since the EU gave manufacturers a choice: all adopt the same micro-USB charger, or face new legislation. Pretty much everyone fell in line.
