India gave Apple 2.5 years notice. And that doesn’t count the time the legislation was being proposed.
IMHO, it’s totally reasonable to say that newly purchased phones should support USB C, even if the phone’s architecture wasn’t introduced this year.
That sounds very reasonable, I thought they wanted them to retrofit them on phones that were already sold!
Yeah I thought the same, that would be wild.
But for models that are actively being produced, it's fair game.
And on top of that, the tech they're being asked to use is literally a decade old next year.
And apple themselves have been using the tech for over 8 years in other devices of their's.
