Reply to comment by Bill_Buttersr in EU votes to force all phones to use same charger by 2024 by WallStreetDoesntBet

That's the thing: nobody stops them from supporting "innovative" charging solutions as long as they also support this specific minimum.

Surelly Apple's "innovation" in charging can win in the market by its own merits rather than by owners of Apple devices having no other option.

That's the beautiful thing about this. It won't innovate at all. Apple fan boys will cry that they aren't being forced to use an incredibly outdated connection. Apple will come in middle of the pack on charging, like they do for everything else. Maybe a generation or two will be nice, but it's a matter of time before they make a proprietary charging solution that only works on the iPhone, with slow charge (or wireless) as a fallback.
