Probably in 2 years if it allows a loophole where a proprietary $100 charger works better than generic.
Their stance on this issue has shown that dongleification design culture has won over user experience design culture within the Apple walls.
- arlcode 3y agoIf I recall correctly the EU explicitly and intentionally excempted wireless charging from this regulation. The argument was that this technology is not yet mature enough to standardize and should be allowed extra time to develop further. They remarked that in the future additional laws may be introduced if required. This was a clear warning directed at the industry (read Apple) to find a common solution for wireless charging without additional regulations. If they are unable to do so the EU is ready for round two.
