    The EU regulation is not in force yet. I doubt Apple’s current solution is in accordance to the new regulations despite the title making it seem as if Apple successfully sidestepped it.

    Another user in the thread incorrectly thinks Apple’s current port has also circumvented the USB-C port requirement with it’s current port.

    While regulations can be circumvented (sometimes by design) there is no benefit in a defeatist attitude where Apple (and other corps) are inevitably going to defeat customer protections.

        So lucky that we have the European Union taking stand against corporations where the US failed miserably to keep them in check since Reagan.

          Hey, Brazil has been trying to do the same for a while. We just need a while to kick out leeching CIA puppets from positions of power.

      exactly - the port law enters into effect next fall for all new models introduced after. Apple has iPhone 15 and 16 to comply. EU likes for their big industry actions to come on reaaaaaly slow … partly as a defense against the industry arguing they did not have time to prepare
