I’m pretty skeptical lawmakers are the best ones to make technical decisions like this.
Of course, power sockets differ country to country, but that's only because these things were cemented in place long before it mattered, and now it would be extremely difficult to change. But most countries have settled on a single plug/socket design, and that is due to government regulation.
Or is your belief that Apple should aggressively make users replace all their accessories?
The previous iteration of the law in the OP only encouraged the industry to get together and make a decision to use a single connector.
This didn't happen because Apple just refused to participate and now the lawmakers are sick of it and stepped it up.
Apple had a huge number of existing users, with existing accessories, before usb-c was even standardized, let alone before it was available in quantity. Look at how people complained about apple dropping the 30pin connector, and replacing it with something superior in every single way - how do you think that would have gone? Hell when the usb-c macbooks started coming out people complained incessantly about no one having usb-c.
This bizarre belief that there is absolutely no reason to not have switched to usb-c is annoying BS - there is very clearly a tradeoff, and Apple didn't think it was worth it. I'm going with what others in the thread have said, and expect any plug at all to disappear. Although then it sounds like Brazil will have a shit fit about that instead.
They may get rid of the physical connectors but wireless charging is already Qi, PAN connectivity is already Bluetooth and WiFi - all of which are industry standards. If they insist, what did we really lose? I guess efficiency of charge?
