    Without it we get a different iPhone charger every year that no other device is allowing to use

      It’s just a brick with a USB socket. I still have 5W usb chargers from iPhones a decade ago that work with anything USB.

      They didn’t change connectors on the cables frequently either. The old big one, lightning, and USB C are the only connectors iPhone used.

        They also switched ten years ago saying it would be “the connector for the next decade” and now the newer phones are getting USB-C.

        Anti-apple people are such pants-pissers.

      The law doesn’t even force USBC it just forces whatever the international standards working group recommends, if they change the recommendation it will change the port.

      So we’re actually having our cake and eating it.

      Also stuff like USB 5.0 specifications are designed to work on USBC port so again no actual upgrade will be required.
