dont forget the EU also made the USB C port ruling and didnt include enough detail that time either.Given Apple begrudes users 16GB of base RAM because they so like money, its hard to imagine a company with that mindset walking away from the EU market over this. That said, if they did, I would well imagine it would be no more then a few years. Apple would eventually come back as they would be gifting a significant market share and revenue to their competitors. The EU is to large a market to ignore, so after all the wailing and throwing lawyers at the problem, compliance with EU legislation is really Apples only choice. That is after all, how we all got USB-C on our iPhones.
they dont learn.
USB C was for recharging and ensuring all devices could use the same cable.
they forgot that USB C transfer speeds for data.
so iPhone 15 get USB2.0 speeds while iPhone Pro users get much much faster USB 3.0 transfer rates.
The EU just seem to repeat the same vague directives.
