At least according to rumours

The dark satanic rumour mill is suggesting that Apple is preparing to undo the shift to USB-C by being a bit stupid about it.

Defeats the point of the law

The EU is concerned that the fruity cargo cult Apple is working to bypass a new law introducing USB-C as the standard power cable in Europe.

We will limit what it can do

Fruity-cargo cult Apple is so angry that the EU forced it to dump its lightning port in favour of USB-C that it is introducing a limited version of the spec in its iPhone 15.

It has until December 2024

Apple has been told that it has until December 2024 to get rid of its Lightning sockets or face the music.

We can't admit that Lightning was a dumb move

Fruity cargo cult Apple is so angry that the EU has forced it to move to USB-C instead of its lightning cable, it is planning to release an older slower version for its iPhone 15 Pro models.

We invented it, it was not forced on us

The Tame Apple Press is doing its best to claim that Apple’s move to USB-C with next year’s iPhone 15 series was not forced upon it by the EU, want was actually part of a cunning plan to bring better technology to users.

EU closes down another Apple money spinner 

Anyone would think that the EU does not want Apple to make a ton of cash at the expense of its users -- it has now past a law that Jobs's Mob must use the same charger as everyone else and bring convience and cheaper prices to Apple fanboys. 

Looking at forcing them to use USB-C 

Fruity cargo-cult Apple might be forced to provide USB-C chargers in its iPhones in Brazil.

Go the way of USB-C as well

According to the latest report, the new entry-level iPad from Apple could come with the A14 chip, 5G connectivity, as well as finally switch to a USB-C port.

Will not enforce a USB Type-C charger

The UK government says it is not "currently considering" copying European Union plans for a common charging cable.
