Because that wasn't legislation. It was literally the EU asking phone manufacturers to please use micro-B. This is something different.

- riffraff 4y agoThe draft of this regulation is from 2014, it's the same thing.
- dahfizz 4y agoNo, it's really not. The EPS was a voluntary specification[1]. It was a memorandum of understanding signed by the manufacturers. Basically, everyone but Apple agreed that it was in their own best interest to align to micro-B. This is a law that mandates USB-C.

- riffraff 4y agoI am saying that this legislation started with the EU parliament regulating at a time when the consensus was micro-USB and then transitioning to USB-C in the intervening time. So the fear that somehow the EU will freeze in time while the rest of the world adopts futuristic connectors is unfounded.
