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”.

In addition, he cites examples of Micro USB and earbud compliance as cases where Apple was forced to meet ill-considered requirements.
