BOLLOCKS!  The above is just yet another predictable example of Apple
propaganda & EU-bashing.  The simple truth is that nearly all the other
manufacturers had already adopted the USB-C standard while it was still
voluntary, but Apple had more or less refused point blank [my caps to
highlight the overwhelming majority]:

Yet, despite having over a decade to do so, Apple still hadn't complied.
 Pretty much all new Apple products are now USB-C. I’m typing this on a
USB-C iPad. The new iPhone 16 is also so equipped, as are I believe their
new AirPod chargers. MacBooks have been USB-C powered for years - probably
one of the earliest laptops to adopt the standard.
As now they *MUST*, but Alan Browne's false claim implied that Apple were already complying at the time that the legislation made compliance compulsory, but in fact they were not, which is exactly WHY the legislation made compliance compulsory!
