Stupidly - but yes. USB-C is required. And when a new technology pops, say USB-G, then what? Everybody will have to wait until EU decides to change the law and define the new standard is required? And then all of the USB-C gadgets and stuff will very fast become obsolete. I bet there’s a new standard just behind the corner…

This was one of Apple’s arguments against it. They said if a new, better cable or port is created a law mandating USB-C would keep the EU behind until all the red tape is passed.

Exactly. And don’t forget Apple is also working on a iPhone variant with no charging ports, only Wi-Fi charging.
