    If that was the case apple wouldn’t talk so openly about how that’s bad for the consumer. They want to keep Lightning since they want to control the iPhone accessory ecosystem.

      Of course they would, “I’m sorry that all your accessories no longer work guys, it was all the EU’s fault”.

        It probably depends on the consumer. Most (older) people I know are always irritated which cable they actually need, so it’s great to just be able to give them one with USB C.

        Edit: They often have other devices with USB C anyway (e.g. headphones).
