History
In 2021, the European Commission began considering a proposal to mandate USB-C on all devices in the European Union, including iPhones. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claimed that Apple would drop its proprietary Lightning connector by 2023. The proposal was passed into law in October 2022, becoming the Radio Equipment Directive. Apple confirmed it would comply with the European Union's regulations that month.
