    Actually the EU only forced them to adopt USB C. Only their ‘Pro’ model actually has USB 3. Imagine having to pay a premium for the luxury of a 15 year old technology

      And they still don’t have PD on the pro.

      My guess is that they’ll be going portless soon, and don’t want users freaking out that they can’t change their phones as quickly, so they’re intentionally nerfing the charge speeds on USB C.

        They have to have USB power delivery by the EU law but only as fast as the device supports at all. So if they only have 20W charging at all that’s legal.

        With how much they’re investing in video and how large their camera/film user base is, they will not go portless.

        USB C without PD ain’t compliant with the EU regulation, so I hope for them, and their users, that PD is onboard.

      A 15 year old technology pretty much every other phone uses now. A technology used in pretty much every modern laptop - especially Apple’s own - and many desktops.

      Apple just wants to get rid of low income people having an iphone.

      Iphones whole thing has always been to be a luxury brand, that only rich people can afford.
