EU wants one phone plug to rule them all. But we've got a better idea.

Basically the idea is to get Apple to use the same spec as everyone else (USB-C) but this will never happen as they are making too much money licencing others to make lightning connectors or flogging their own at £35 a pop.

it would make everything better if all chargers worked on all devices, but the range of voltages and currents on plugs and cables makes it a nightmare.

most of them are 5v then the ampage changes - 1.0A-4.6A

when you get to QC your looking at up to 20v
