Davkaus Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 The reality is, unless our regulations become stricter than the EU, we're just going to get what they regulate for, so companies don't have to make different product versions for the UK and EU. There may be exceptions when companies can save money by cutting corners just in the UK, but typically we'll be subject to their rules, with no say in their rules. Rule Britannia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Politically, we are looking for points of difference from the EU. For this first consumer choice thing to come along it will be interesting to see what the government decides. It could go either way, but using our new found freedom to choose to copy the EU wouldn’t sit well with some tories. Apple will probably go cable free charging and get everyone to buy an apple cable free charging point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it just be speed? Basic is the original low level power and data. PD (power delivery) is high speed charging for devices that support it. There are various power ratings. As far as I know all PD leads nowadays can carry DisplayPort - but not all devices can drive DisplayPort. High Speed is higher speed data, but with basic power Power only has no data capacity. For the people with good OPSEC hygiene using public charging points. ALT is an ALTernative mechanism used to power and supply data to some monitors (like DisplayPort over USB type-C). I have one monitor which needs this and it's my portable screen so actually gets a lot of use. 1, 3 and 4 also exist with USB and USB2 with type-A connectors. You need USB3 for 2 and 5. I don't know if DisplayPort runs over USB3.0 type-A or if it's an extension only to type-C. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
