    “Allow”. The fact that they must allow, is the key abhorrent element.

      Yeah, allow implies voluntary. They’re only doing this because they’re required to. Like how Apple only offers phones with USB-C where they’re forced to. Turns out they don’t do that.

      EDIT: I misjudged Apple.

        Pretty sure Apple’s newer phones are USB-C worldwide. I doubt they’re leaving countries that don’t require it stuck with old models.

            I wouldn’t give them any credit for that. I would sure bet you that they just decided that building USB-C iPhones for Europe and Lightning for everywhere else would be more expensive than what they ended up doing.
