Probably nice timing for Apple too when they are forced over to USB C connectivity.

I 100% Guarantee you they'll use a USB-C connector, but make some bullcrap proprietary in-between handshaking thing like they have with their Lightening cables. So unless the phone sees that, it won't work.

They aren't allowed. From my understanding, the EU ruled that all devices must conform to the USB C standards as created by the USB implementers forum.

But you are right, they will try to find a way around it. Most likely import devices and then sell their USB C Digital AV multiport adaptor by the masses.

That said, 240W USB C charging has a nice sound to it

Well I guess i may be in need of one of these now, not sure what cable even comes with the device i picked up, was just too good a deal to not get it, i should marry the call center lady

They already use it on some models of iPads.

Aren't M1 macs already USB-C? And they fried themselves with non-Apple chargers, even if they were USB-C compliant.

240 watts sounds pretty insane.

I thought they only use the same connector, but thats where the similarity ended.
