By delaying something introducing stupid regulations, they block it.
EU just wants to kill tech, because its ever changing nature means that they can't control it.
Quite the opposite, in EU there is no innovation because only big tech can comply with regulation.

It's always the gamble with the EU, 1/3 of their regulations are incredible (food standards), 1/3 are overreach but I agree with it so it's fine (forcing Apple to use USB-C), and 1/3 are completely r-slurred red tape.

Aren't their food standards like that because they ban shit that could be bad, while the FDA tests to see exactly what amount of something is bad?

Europoors brains can't handle another cable and must stifle innovation by forcing a certain standard.

As someone who works on thousands of devices. USB C cables are very fragile, much more than lighting, and the standard is a confusing nightmare. So glad daddy EU forced everyone to use it cuz euros are to poor to afford another cable.

Yeah normal people like having one cable for everything, not every brand their own.

The EU didn't force them to. They just picked the exact date Apple guaranteed Lightning through and patted themselves on the back.

Agreed, but in this case it's a good one. It does what techcels have been trying and failing to do with technical solutions for 20 years: enabling/enforcing interoperability between different closed source products so you don't have to use one company's product just because you use a certain platform or your friends are using it.
Like with GDPR, we're going to get 10 years of malicious compliance, until they give up or the whole European welfare system is funded from the fines.

The food standards are overblown since they are largely self policed.
Read what I wrote above. Now picture in your head that I put a /s at the end. Good job sweaty!
