They gave Apple over a decade to make that decision, but Apple failed to do so, so the EU had to make it for them.
HS. Apple would have gotten the iPhone to USB-C on iPhone 16. This was their plan. Do not forget USB-C was defined by (amongst others) Apple.
HS here obviously applies to your claim, as I've just spent some time on some Apple/Mac/i* follower sites looking at rumours and reports of official statements about their intentions over the last two years or so, and not one of them even mentioned this, let alone gives a credible source, indeed it's not mentioned even in some reports of official statements that might have been expected to mention it, such as this one:
https://www.macrumors.com/2022/10/25/greg-joswiak-usb-c-iphone/Anyway, this is unsurprising, because a moment's thought shows that it's contradicted by the known facts: Apple still has until December this year before compliance becomes mandatory, so if they had indeed been planning to introduce USB-C for the iPhone 16 this year but not for the iPhone 15 last year, they still could have used Lightning for the iPhone 15, but they didn't, they used USB-C, thus disproving your claim!
So this is yet another example of: I've lost the argument but can't bring myself to admit it, so I will invent 'facts' in an attempt to keep up an appearance of having something worthwhile to argue about.
I note you are trolling from a transatlantic time zone, and obviously know even less about the EU than the SFA you seem to know about Apple products, and that you share a first name and a trolling style with another well-known transatlantic Apple troll. It could be merely co-incidence, but I doubt it.
