Apple switched the iPhone to USB-C years before it became an EU requirement. I doubt the EU played a role in it. The 2015 MacBook was USB-C only.

> iPhone 15 released September 22, 2023

> EU’s Common Charger Directive went into effect on December 28, 2024

Years?

  • The iPhone 15 released in September 2023 already had USB-C. Apple wasn't required to use USB-C up until the iPhone 17 release in September 2025. That is two years.
