After responding, Stern asked when we can expect to see USB-C in the iPhone. “It is the Europeans who dictate the time for European customers,” Joswiak replied. Currently, the law mandates that “all mobile phones and tablets” must use USB-C by “fall 2024”. The Apple executive declined to say whether the company would include the connector in phones sold outside the European Union.

Essentially, he provided a lengthy explanation of how the company has historically preferred to go its own way and trust its engineers rather than being forced to adopt hardware standards by lawmakers. In addition, he cites examples of Micro USB and earbud compliance as cases where Apple was forced to meet ill-considered requirements.
