Has the EU legislation factored in the USB-*(D?) might come next? Hopefully it doesn't slow down adoption of new technology.
The main downside instead of buying a lightning cable that always work we now have to decipher the 10 minor variations of USB-C's various speeds/power now with zero consistency in naming schemes or amazon titles.
- post_break 3y agoThe iPhone is literally the last hold out for USB C. I'm pretty sure every modern Android phone supports USB PD and I think the EU is requiring PD charging as well, but nothing on connectivity speeds.
- zapnuk 3y agoIf there is a USB-*, the EU can just update the policy for new devices with a grace period of X years. Problem solved.
- dzikimarian 3y agoEU legislation has review built-in. No way it's going to be slower than switch from lightning. Also from other commenters say Apple implemented USB 2.0, so you don't have to care about type of USB-C cable you're buying - these are for advanced features which as it seems are not present in iPhone 15.
