So every upgrading iPhone user in the world needs to discard every single charging device they own, including expensive multi-device chargers like phone+watch.

So every upgrading iPhone user in the world needs to discard every single charging device they own, including expensive multi-device chargers like phone+watch. In the short-term this clearly produces _more_ e-waste. I wonder if anyone made an estimate of the break-even time here. One year? Ten? Will everyone be discarding their chargers and switching to wireless before break-even is achieved? How much money does it cost for the USB-D spec to get approved by the EU if/when that is released? (How much did the USB-C industry groups spend on lobbying to get this done)? This seems like a much less significant concern but I am curious what order of magnitude we are dealing with here. This legislation would have been great twenty years ago when there were lots of proprietary plugs on phones, but it seems much less substantial of an issue now in my experience.
