I might be wrong but I think they mandated the USB-C standard.

See here's the problem with USB right now. This could mean any one of like 5 different USB standards.

USB C wiring isn’t standardized as well as it should be. I have 3 devices on USB C one has a special cable and charger and doesn’t charge or connect on any other set up. The other 2 1 cable works with both chargers for one and one charger works with both cables for the other.

I would wager Apple will use the “ for future expansion” wires in USB C as identifiers

Nah. Just the port and they it works with existing usb c chargers.

As for the standard that could be any number of things that no one adds to phones. So I doubt they would even try that.

So as long as the new port meets the basic requirements Apple is done. EU would need to update their meaning if they don’t like it.

This is all so weird as Apple is a member of the USB consortium too. I do love their implementation of USB-C on the MacBook Air though. So I hope they do the same for the iPhones.
