Not really, most people already have USB-C Cables. And Apple already doesn't include Chargers in their stuff anyway.
I think I read a rumor a while back that iPhones will still limit your charge rate if you don’t have an approved cable. I don’t know if that’s still the case, but I could see it.
Sounds illegal.
I think they’ll just improve their MagSafe cable capabilities to try and get customers to buy that instead of the regular usb-c cable. But the rumor always sounded like bs to me. It’s just too on the nose.
From what I’ve read only Apple cables will work with limitations put on regular usb-c cable. Typical Apple nonsense.
Yeah and they will be hit with a brick by EU for it... But USB-C Thunderbolt should do the trick.
Apple doesn’t deserve an EU bricking, maybe a large marble slabbing or a small stone condoing.
They deserve a mountain dropping on them.
As does every US tech giant. We'll run out of mountains
