Now let’s get gas caps on one side mandatory please!

Everything is going to wireless charging so just like Europe this means nothing.

Yet they still make different models that have either Dual physical SIM, physical + eSIM, or dual eSIM only

Yes beacase it was checked by the EU and India. Not the case in the US

I love the USB-C on the new iPad. I hope it will make its appearance on the iPhone soon!

seems like it is adjusted frequency though, since you can import an eq curve from a hearing test.

I’ve had the same lighting cables for better than five years.

All this change will do is force me to buy new cables when I eventually upgrade my existing phone and iPad.

Yep, same.

It will spill over the the US. Too much R&D and production costs to make it use two different standards.

Just don't buy product from companies that don't do what you like. Or choose the one that's the best at your ideals. This is why I refuse to get apple products.

Only anecdotal, but I've used samsung phones and my wife iphones for the last 5 years, basically only buy 3rd party cables for both, and neither of us have ever had any of those issues come up at all

Just don't buy apple product. I don't. But all these apps fanboys complaining about "capitalism" but don't understand the consumer is ultimately in charge, you just willing to take it up the A** vs not buying.

Every usbc cable can charge a phone.

US needs to do this pronto

IF USB-X is the succesor of USB-C and is an open standard the EU law will allow it to be used. Don't know about the Indian law, but most likely is similar.

I wish I shared your experience. My last iPhone got ruined because a third party charger broke inside the phone. Every connector was loose and shitty after that. :(

Wich is precisely why the EU law says that if a new open standard connector is developed and replaces/supersede USB-C it will be allowed to be used. ALSO, if the device needs so much current that USB-C can't suply it, the law states that it only aplies to devices that need UP TO 100w of power, wich is the current max wattage of USB PD.

I have no idea what the Indian law says, but it is likely to be like that.

Oh hell - I'm specifically waiting till the iPhone family is all USB-C to get a new one!

Sure, put the most stringent practices are not so easily monetizable/exploitable. That is the whole point of the GDPR, prevent abusive (but profitable) practices among other things.

Anyone that uses an electric razor for those areas must spend a lot of time on it, cause your balls are huge!

I’ve never had any problems with third party cables, in fact they are much better than the crappy apple ones

But the pins always have to line up.

Which of the 27 kinds of usb-c is the standard?

I think the primary motivation for India is the dumping of old tech as mentioned in the article:

>A key concern for India is that once the EU makes the shift, obsolete phones and equipment could be dumped here, a second official said, requesting anonymity.
