Only 13 of the members voted against the decision with an almighty 602 votes for.
EU member states will need to approve the changes prior to the 24th of October, then the changes will be written into law.

The unification is aimed at reducing waste cause by having multiple excess chargers for all of your gadgetry.
The devices aren’t just iPads and iPhones, as there are a lot of additional devices, which will have to change charging ports; e-readers, mice, keyboards, GPS, headphones, cameras, games controllers and portable speakers.
