Technology is still changing fairly rapidly. Regulation is not.
There will come a time when flashy new tech that everyone is drooling over will not be available in the EU due to this law.
- alpaca128 4y agoThis whole discussion is only a thing because Apple's tech isn't changing rapidly enough for regulation, the exact opposite of your scenario. Also good luck producing a functioning smartphone that's too thin for the USB-C connector before the EU can react (the new iPhone 14 has exactly 3 times the thickness, so it'll take a while). The much more realistic reason for a new phone not being released here is the new proposal to enforce 5 years of replacement parts for all phones among other things.
