Reply to comment by HopefulEuclid in EU votes to force all phones to use same charger by 2024 by WallStreetDoesntBet

Curious, do you have any links that detail how the EU is a larger market than the US? Not a snark I'm genuinely interested and apparently my Google-fu isn't up to snuff.

Ok so you're talking only population size. Sure.

When comparing developed nations for simple consumer products there's not really any other factor. For non-consumer industries or specialty products like firearms there'd be other considerations, but phones are basically sold everywhere. I'm sure if China made the same charging connector demand of Apple they'd comply.
