Apple are the ones who decided to wait at least 7 years to adopt USB-C after it was available. If they could have “innovated” - maybe USB 3.0 support could have been added to Lightning? But they showed zero interest in innovating over all that time, so I think that’s fantasy.

The EU wouldn’t have forced their hand if they were innovative instead of being greedy, lazy, and rent-seeking.
