Apple was already shipping USB-C devices before the EU got involved

Thank god the EU didn’t get it’s shit together before usb-c, the original proposal was to require microUSB lol

They were shipping USB-C MacBooks since 2016, plus the iPad Pro at some point. All those years they didn't bring it to iPhone, so I don't see any indication that they were going to do it, unless someone at Apple knows.

Also tbh I would have preferred micro-usb over Lightning. Non-reversible, but it at least would've charged my phone reliably.
