    I doubt they’ll circumvent this. They don’t seem to circumvent the mandated USB-C port if the rumors are to be trusted.

      They already tried, given that the reason that they’ve held out for so long is because of one of those circumventions.

      It’s just that the EU is clamping down, and Apple is running out of time on that restriction, hence them moving over to USB-C coincidentally just before the EU would force their hand.

      I mean they sort of are circumventing the EU rulings intent by making their phone require special MFi cables for full speed charging. They also are still using USB 2.0 which limits connectivity speeds to being equivalent to old lightning port they used.
