I'm an Apple hater, and I'm glad it's a standard usbc, as it shows the strength of EU legislation.
I love when politicians make tech decisions, forcing a company to sell my preference instead of simply buying a product that already has what I want
Yes, a ~3 trillion dollar company milking users by not including a charger, making them purchase a proprietary cable and a bag full of dongles when a more capable open standard is ubiquitous, is good actually.
The fact is, people need phones and many are buying from Apple. The legislation gives some very minimal protection to non omega nerds so they get ripped off slightly less.
But I'm sure your elders are all very interested in learning the technical differences between the 100 phones on the market in their final days. You should give a weekly Keynote on Lightning cables at their church meetings.
Lightning shall smite thy wallets.
