    Apple would have implemented USB-C ages ago if they had any intention of ever doing it willingly.

    Everything they make uses USB-C except the iphone which uses lightning and funnily enough they get a substantial cut out of every accessory and cable sale.

    The EU has a FAQ somewhere addressing this, can’t find it though.

    And calling the EU a regional government is underplaying their power and international influence a LOT.
