So it's lightning all over again? Lightning was better than micro-usb, then USB-C came out and was even better and people get pissy at Apple for creating something better than the standard (and donating some of that back to the standard).

I know this will not be popular here but I really do not like the EU's most recent round of "no, you have to open up this feature".

Apple said it didn't ship chargers with their 1k+ phones in order to reduce waste right?

Then having the EU force usbc for the same reason shouldn't be a problem.
