They could support a more sophisticated charging system in addition to supporting power delivery. Finer-grained, dynamic control of power delivery might let them be more aggressive with charging speed based on device usage, battery capacity, and heat.
Those were the A9X and A10X, larger SoCs custom to those iPad Pros.
That doesn't mean anything. USB-C PD is simply a standard. There is no requirement for any specific charging speed. And any such law that attempted to specify that would be laughed out of the building, as it would be obsolete before it ever went into effect. PD's maximum charing speed changes all the time, and there is no reason why any device has to use the maximum possible. Only that it use the standard, for safety reasons.
And you using doesn't mean the vast majority of the iPhone market does either. They don't. Most of them wouldn't even know how. And if the phone screws up, they take it to the store. This effects a very small amount of users.
Moving to universal standards while making sure the phone won't be damaged by cheap Chinese crap. What a crime against humanity.

You don't know that. Apple moved other products like the Mac and iPad to USB-C without any prompting from anywhere. The iPhone 15 design was locked in long before the law was even signed by the EU. The law doesn't go into effect until after iPhone 16 ships. iPhone 17 would be the first one Apple would be legally obligated to comply with. Apple is moving to USB-C now like they planned to all along. They purposely waited until USB-C adoption grew to the point where switching away from Lightning feels more like "finally" than it does "wtf". Despite tech geeks dreams of single connectors, despite regulatory buffoons' power-tripping ideas, the actual iPhone market cares more about the cable not changing than they do about USB-C. So by being last instead of first, Apple mitigated a ton of customer dissastisfaction.
Most iPhones are operated with "cheap Chinese crap". Basically the whole iPhone is manufactured by Chinese "crap".
It works exactly like that. The EU Commission already sent a stark reminder in the direction of Apple.
The EU has no idea what they're talking about (which is nothing new). They have absolutely no legal authority to dictate to Apple what wattage the phone must charge at. LMAO.It works exactly like that. The EU Commission already sent a stark reminder in the direction of Apple.
It is sad that legislators have to that. Clear sign of market disfunction. The lawmakers should break up Apple into pieces.
EU sends Apple stark warning over USB-C charging on new iPhones
Bad news for Apple, good news for youwww.techradar.com
They sure can dictate what stuff is allowed to be imported into EU Markets and what not
so your proof is a article that links a warning? not a law. also what about other companies that already do similar stuff? OnePlus has their warp charging that requires a specific Oneplus charger to useIt works exactly like that. The EU Commission already sent a stark reminder in the direction of Apple.

sooo since other phone companies have proprietary charging capabilities and nothing done, but a RUMOR of Apple doing it and suddenly it is an issue?
I think they just don't care about OnePlus (market share <1% in the EU I guess).
It wasn’t the SoC that give USB3.0 speeds, it was the 16-pin port. The 9.7” didn’t get USB3.0 despite having the same SoC as the first 12.9” Pro because it only had the 8 Pin port. If Apple actually cared about data speed they would have given later iPhones, even just the Pros, the 16-pin ports and USB3.0.
