I wonder how Apple will try to weasel its way out of this one. They're not using USB chargers, either.

Looks like Apple will be using USB-C: https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/finally-a-usb-c-iphone-is-coming/

Apple will change the way we charge the batteries for our iPhones, to comply with new European Union rules that require every new smartphone to work with a common USB-C cable by 2024, a company executive said Tuesday.

They already do. My ~15 month old phone lasts about 3 hours streaming audio and light usage when it previously would take about 8 hours to reach that point.

They don't currently require it
