Yes, and? The usb forum knew at the time that they needed a replacement for micro USB, even if they were being slow about it.

Do you think it is likely now, based on the current state of connectors?

The EU wanted to force Apple to include micro USB. But you kind oh made my point, the regulators were going to force a substandard port on iPhone users

[Dylan16807]

If they had forced micro USB, it sure seems like it would have been updated to USB C.

But they didn't force it.

And I thought you were arguing about the current law, not complaining about something that was ten years ago and didn't happen.

And you still didn't answer my question.

[scarface_74]

How long would it have taken them? Could Apple just unilaterally changed without waiting years for the committee to decide?

[Dylan16807]

If the USB committee also didn't release a port for more years? This is getting too abstracted from reality to answer easily. That's not the world we live in, but perhaps Apple could have offered their new better port as an open standard in that situation.

If you mean the EU rulemakers being slow, no I don't think there would have been a multiple year delay to implement the new USB port.

But now I'm done with your questions about a situation that never existed, if you don't think my question is worth acknowledging.
