Now I just hope they don't institute some dumb program where it only talks to Apple devices or some crap.

The EU has already said that would be illegal. Apple may still do it, but I expect they'd stop pretty soon after an import ban happens. (I don't think they do any manufacturing in the EU anymore)

The behavior will be the same as it is on iPads, which have had USB-C for 5 years.

#6Now I can finally throw away all of those perfectly usable lightning cables and buy a horde of new USB-C cables that do absolutely nothing to improve my experience. Thanks for that, EU.

??? Using a standardized cable that you'll always be able to find at a friend's place that also works with basically all modern devices doesn't improve your user experience?

#8A friend got a new high end 2019 Samsung phone. The week it came, we were at the beach. I offered my USB battery. They used a USB-C to USB-C charge cable to connect it. They passed the phone-and-battery to me and I grabbed it by the cable , as I would with a lightning cable.
The USB-C detached from the phone and the phone fell 3.5 feet onto the rocky sand. It immediately broke the rear glass.
After that experience, I'm still skeptical if the friction available in the USB-C socket is up to the task of day-to-day phone use (vs lightning). Among other challenges, Apple must have been struggling with this all along.

As someone who hasn't owned a mobile apple device since 2012 or so (my ipod touch still had the old wide port that predates thunderbolt), my expectation of friction for a cable is essentially just that it requires more force to remove than you would normally exert by moving the phone itself.
This sounds snarky but I'm genuinely interested in the different perspective - is it a normal thing to hang your iphone off the cable to move it around?
