Reply to comment by shawntw77 in EU votes to force all phones to use same charger by 2024 by WallStreetDoesntBet

You have a basic lack of understanding. Apple does spec the cable but you are allowed to use third party ones. I have a few third party cables and all of them work. The brick is completely open. Apple has no control over what brick you use.

The new rule the EU is proposing would prohibit Apple from restricting functionality to only approved cables. They would have to work with any valid cables that adhere to the USB and Type-C spec.

Stop creating bogymen to then get angry at them. Apple already uses Type-C on Macs and iPads. They've literally shown what it would look like and people still complain about fake stuff.

I should have worded it better. More accurately it'd be certain third party cables no longer work. Only cables certified by apple will function. I can say this with absolute certainty because of my own past experience with it.

Thank you for also answering my question in the second part.
