Will that have an effect on the devices sold on the US market? I would love an iPhone with USB-C.
- spywaregorilla 4y agoSeems probable. I'm hopeful as well.
- akmarinov 4y agoEither (sorted most likely to least likely): 1. All iPhones get USB-C 2. Only EU iPhones get USB-C, US sticks with lightning 3. iPhones become portless with wireless charging only
- tyingq 4y agoI imagine there's also some option where you can charge your iPhone with any USB-C charger, but the special Apple charger will charge it up faster.
- rootusrootus 4y agoThey provide a USB-C charger already, and it's not magically faster than good quality third-party chargers. It's top-end, for sure, but not proprietary.
- tyingq 4y agoRight, the idea being the EU mandate would reduce sales of their charger, and eliminate sales of their USB-C -> Lightning cable. And how they might respond.

- bluescrn 4y agoPortless could be a pain for developers, if the only way to deploy/debug is wifi, and the only way to charge is a wireless charger (which may not be able to keep up with the discharge rate of a device being used to test a game/app all day)
- akmarinov 4y agoWell Apple's priorities have always been: 1. Apple 2. Users 3. Developers so they'll sacrifice developer experience with not a second thought.
- rmm 4y agoThey will probably have data transfer through the MagSafe by then. https://appft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-adv.html&r=2&f=G&l=50&d=PG01&p=1&S1=(apple.AANM.+AND+20220414.PD.)&OS=aanm/apple+and+pd/4/14/2022&RS=(AANM/apple+AND+PD/20220414) https://appft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=...
