Apple has a few choices

1. Stop selling in the EU, but this is unlikely due to it being 20% of their market

2. Make a new model of iphone for the world with USBC

3. Add a premium to EU market phones to pay for the regulations

I'd like to see 2 and 3 implemented with 3 making the iPhone cost 1.5x or more in the EU



nobody would buy such an expensive iPhone. I bet they will just switch to usb-c, like they did with the iPad.
