Yeah, as I said IDK what device timelines are, but for some reason I can't imagine apple not releasing an iPhone in the EU for 4 years... the charge port mandate was not super impactful/difficult for Apple to comply with. I am still not convinced Apple isn't going to drop the charge port entirely in favor of their magsafe wireless thing (again, anti-consumer IMO), or at the very least will be putting out an EU-only SKU with USB-C.
