    Yeah, allow implies voluntary. They’re only doing this because they’re required to. Like how Apple only offers phones with USB-C where they’re forced to. Turns out they don’t do that.

    EDIT: I misjudged Apple.

      Pretty sure Apple’s newer phones are USB-C worldwide. I doubt they’re leaving countries that don’t require it stuck with old models.

          I wouldn’t give them any credit for that. I would sure bet you that they just decided that building USB-C iPhones for Europe and Lightning for everywhere else would be more expensive than what they ended up doing.
