I don't understand this. Are they going to force Apple to use the same charger as everyone else? Is that even possible? The article is unclear.

The USB type C connector is currently under development (slim form factor and reversible), Apple should just make the effort to ensure it's compatible with the Lightning connector, e.g. license the design. Problem solved.
AFAIK they're forcing Apple to ship an adaptor so that iPhones can charge from standard power supplies.
