After the EU's new law required all small handheld devices to use a unified charging connection interface and selected USB-C as the unified interface specification, the Indian government also announcedWill follow the EU's approach, which will make USB-C a unified charging interface specification for small handheld devices, is expected to be implemented from June 2025.
Similar to the EU's approach, the Indian government proposed this measure in the hope of reducing the generation of electronic waste, allowing different devices to be charged with the same charging device, and increasing the convenience of device use.
In previous news, the Indian government originallyAll mobile phone productsThe goal of adjusting to a unified charging interface now seems to be shifting to allowing all small handheld devices to use USB-C as the unified charging connection interface.
The implementation date of June 2025 is primarily to allow manufacturers sufficient time to adjust product designs. Implementation will begin with small handheld devices like phones and tablets, followed by larger devices like laptops starting at the end of 6. However, a specific implementation date has not yet been determined for wearable devices and wireless audio devices.
However, considering that most of the new 3C products currently sold in the Indian market basically use USB-C as the main connection and charging interface, there should not be too many problems in the implementation of the new law. After all, the new iPhone 15 series has also been fully switched to USB-C charging specifications, and the iPhone 15 is currently being produced in India, so no obstacles are expected in its implementation.
Judging from the Indian government's intention to follow the EU's policy, it is expected that small handheld devices will also be required to adopt designs that make batteries easy to replace and convenient to repair. Therefore, it is necessary to readjust the battery design of products including iPhones.
