   This seems like a good thing, but I'm sure the EU found a way to fuck it up somehow.

     Europoors will now seethe when they have to import Iphones.

     @Dudebro @EUCommission @Hoss iPhone has been USB for two generations. Tim Apple and Co. can suck an egg for trying to pretend a frail inverted USB C cable (lightning) was somehow better.

     So this legislation only happened because they didnt want to import iphones and instead waited for them to change then pass feckless legislation.

     @Dudebro @EUCommission @Hoss I believe Apple changed in response to EU threatening this for the past four years.

     @Hoss @EUCommission every euro I know is absolutely frothing and I can't fathom why.

     @Dudebro @EUCommission @Hoss This is the first step toward having any recognition of consumer rights IMO. Of course they couched it in environmentalism to get it to pass (muh wasted cables and chargers). I think the same argument re waste can apply to right to repair (why throw away when it can be fixed), but we'll see.

     Honestly instead of this legislation I wish they would have addressed right to repair first.

     I doubt they will do anything because they will be taking on a whole hell of a lot more companies down to thermostats and tractor companies over this.

     @HonkHonkBoom @Hoss @BowsacNoodle @Dudebro @EUCommission they aren't artificially trampling on usbc transfer speed. usbc is just connector tech, not transfer tech. how do I know? there's a million android phones, even flagships, that have usbc with usb2.0. The only phones with thunderbolt 3? The Iphone 15 and 16 pro max.

     @mischievoustomato @EUCommission @Dudebro @Hoss Doesn't have to be. Lightning is the same, but generally less robust because the narrow connector port.

     @HonkHonkBoom @Hoss @BowsacNoodle @Dudebro @EUCommission hmmm, you're not wrong, but it's a case of market segmentation. The person that buys any non-pro-max iphone most likely doesn't need thunderbolt. Hell, I don't need usb3 on my phone at all. usb2.0 is enough to flash roms, and I could even do that thru wifi if I gave enough of a shit to set it up. Anything else I copy thru wifi, using syncthing

     @mischievoustomato @EUCommission @Dudebro @BowsacNoodle @Hoss No no, they are absolutely capable of providing higher transfer speed, they proved it with thunderbolt, so, the limited speed on the usb-c versions is intentional, and artificial.

     @mischievoustomato @EUCommission @Dudebro @BowsacNoodle @Hoss With no removable storage??? It would take all day just to copy just a 30 gig music folder over to the phone.. and making a backup before flashing and wiping (can you even do that with applecult stuff?) .. wireless is so slow compared to a full speed usb3 connection, and how do ya get low level access? i know on android there are hacky methods to adb via wireless, but it's not usable in the same way that a wired connection is..

     > It would take all day just to copy just a 30 gig music folder over to the phone
     what? no it doesn't, not at all, I've done it myself, it takes far, far less. I don't do backups on my phone because my phone doesn't have important stuff I don't have on my laptop.

     > know on android there are hacky methods to adb via wireless
     go to developer settings, then enable wireless adb, done.
