EU confirms Apple can make a portless iPhone without USB-C
Apple ultimately decided not to adopt a port-free design with the new iPhone, which will still have a USB-C connector. One major reason: There were concerns that removing USB-C would upset European Union regulators, who mandated the iPhone switch to USB-C.
Sure, a USB-C iPhone 8 would charge with the same connector as all the Android phones out there, which would be mighty convenient for people who make cars or stereos or cases or charging cables.
