    And they actively fought against it for as long as they could, tooth and nail.

      If they were really fighting it that hard they could’ve stalled till 2025 when the EU law actually takes effect.

        They could have, but I think they saw the demand and speculation of a usb-c phone. Maybe they realized that the bad image it would give them if they held out.

        I’ve been waiting for a usb-c phone to upgrade. I’m at a point now that I really can’t wait any longer for a new phone. If they did not release a usb-c phone this year, I would have just bought the cheapest phone they offered.
