The world-first deal has imposed a standard charger for smartphones and tablets sold in the bloc, in a blow to Apple, which has argued a one-size-fits-all charger would slow innovation and create more pollution.

All smartphones and tablets would have to use a common charger under a provisional European Union agreement clinched on Tuesday.

. Around 15 product types are included in the scope, including headsets, video-game consoles and headphones. Phones and tablet makers will have to comply by the fall of 2024. Laptops will have more time to make the switch, with negotiators giving laptop producers 40 months after the new rules go into effect.
