  But they’re not going to redesign all the older iPhone models to have USB-C. They’ll just stop selling those models.

    Exactly, it’s complete overreach and isn’t going to happen. What’s been made has been made already. As you said, they simply stop shipping older model phones, and then Indian people will have less affordable phones to choose from. No way in hell Apple is cracking open phones and desoldering ports and replacing them, the cost would make the old ones cost more than the new ones.

    Govts always take shit too far.

    I assumed it’s new models, not retroactively fitting them, as in newly produced ones.

      They’re already switching to USB-C for all the new models due to EU regulations.
