Everyone upset about losing lightning. Apple will 'malicious compliance' this and keep the lightning port and just add a USB-C port that does charging and nothing else.

It will be damn ugly. Non starter.

I am much more expecting them to do something like remove the port entirely and move to wireless charging only; or, for maximum humor value, make the lightning port incapable of charging the phone in Europe only, such that it isn't a charging port there and thereby isn't subject to the regulations (forcing only the people in Europe to use wireless charging).

  Now that would be funny.

  As far as I understand the ruling they have to have a USB C port on their device that allows charging. Removing the port entirely is not an option.

    Can you quote the part that you believe enforces that?
