Reply to comment by ackillesBAC in USB-C will be mandatory for all smart devices sold in India by Sam1515024
Undeniably the standard was was developed years after lightning was already on devices. Also afaik they’re only enforcing the type-c form factor not the usb-c standard.

And Apple is implementing the Thunderbolt standard, which means all the extras that USB-C has listed as optional will be fully supported.

Which is cool and all but what did we benefit from using legislature to make Apple do this. The biggest argument is this idea of e-waste reduction because less cords but they fail to acknowledge that every manufacturer is just going to put new USB-C cables with every new device, and the customer convenience one just seems like such a forced argument. Like “sometimes people forget their chargers at home we should make a law so they’ll always have a charger!”
