@stefan @EU_Commission I guess they will add a USB-C to Lightning dongle to iPhones and iPads ;). The iPad Pro already has USB-C, BTW.

As far as I can tell, Apple will be forced to have USB-C built in on all iPhones, not just a dongle:

"(Portable electronic devices) will have to be equipped with a USB Type-C port, regardless of their manufacturer."

@FediThing @stefan @EU_Commission But I am sure: only for new devices, not existing models.

Oh yeah, these rules will only come into effect in 2024, it doesn't cover current models.

Manufacturers have a couple of years to get USB-C integrated into their upcoming devices.
