    what happened when the EU forced apple to move to USB-C.

    Apple messed up is what happened. None of the other manufacturers appears to have this issue, despite the same legislation applying to them.

    This is solely on Apple fucking up.

      Correct. iPhone 14 and under are not affected because they don’t have the texas instruments usb-c controllers. The mandated change brought about the new requirement. They had to move to a less researched, and obviously less secure format. Itll get better as we go, but its going to be hell for a while as these new flaws are found.
