Why don't Apple just have both ports keep the lighting port that Apple is so proud of and have the common changer that follows EU standards there is no reason too be silly about this people will never agree on which one is better so just have both types then the problem is solved why does everything have too be so unnecessary difficult truth hurts
Many Chinese brands already have duel changing ports and cooling systems on top And unlike apple most of them really do listen and can see it am making a good point because they know what it's like too be in my position

They say to prevent waste? Umm wont people toss lighting cables in the garbage when they are no longer usable? Also the cable was always inter-changeable so one could easily use a Samsung charger + Lightning cable anyhow or the other way around... =/ (If anything maybe the EU should forbid selling a better charger than the one included with the phone? These 5w chargers gets tossed often...)

They have quintillions in stock and they needs to sell them before they can move to USB-C.
Well EU should force them by law or just stop their progress.

LAST WEEK the European Parliament made an amendment....
THIS WEEK, Apple issued a response...
So apparently you only need a week to do the study... And here I am wishing my education would be so easy...

stobs, 26 Jan 2020the usb consortium is a totally fraudulent group that has acted very regressively in the past ... moreThose fragile little pins are in the phone itself in Apple's connector. And when they start to deform from use, or debris gets inside and damages them, Apple gets to charge you their excessive repair prices, or sell you an entire phone instead of just a replacement charge cable. This is all by design.

LOL the only people angry about it are the very same people who won't buy an iPhone regardless so why bother listening to them.

yeah... thats just apple not wanting to loose out in the 200% plus markup in profit!
the fact that a decent type C charger is actually around the same price (if not cheaper) as a current iPhone Lightning meter long cable - makes me laugh really
