Lightning Connector was not killed by Apple though. Not really.

Is there any evidence that it was "years of regulatory and industry pressure" that did it?

When Apple introduced Lightning it was as the "modern connector for the next decade" and... that's exactly what happened.

I personally agree, but the general public seems to think the EU had something to do with it.

Honestly this regulation should never have happened IMHO…

Arguably if anything killed by EU
