When sold in the UK and EU markets, Apple’s latest M5 MacBook Pro no longer includes a power adapter, a move that has ignited heated debates among netizens. Some have assumed that this is a mandatory stipulation under EU law, but this assertion is incorrect. The EU’s “Universal Charger Directive” simply mandates that new devices adopt USB-C interfaces to improve compatibility; it does not forbid manufacturers from including chargers. Apple’s decision here is a strategic business move, aimed at streamlining packaging, cutting costs, and boosting revenue from accessories.
