I see something like this every few years.EU has to make a fine so heavy that it’s impossible to just pay as a tax of doing business.
Unless that’s all it really is.

The EU has a good track record on making companies adopt these standards.

USB C has been pushed for at least four years now. No it does not have a good track record.
Maybe Google is nice enough to comply. Fair! But apples larger and doesn’t. Which speaks volumes. You know what I mean? It’s ironic because USA does nothing about it…at all. But it’s unfortunate because every iPhone still uses that crappy lightning cable and AFAIK I read something saying they make $200m a year on accessories like those cables and adapters.

I hope so. I don’t plan on renewing my iphone for awhile, I like pixels open firmware stuff with graphene and even just Android. But I hate carrying around the extra special apple cable
