Any details about USB-C? I bet this USB-C implementation is not standard compliant in a typical Apple way.

MST has serious drawbacks. Not supporting it could be for reasons of not wanting to deliver a subpar experience.
That could be because the devices themselves are not spec and the intel macs are more tolerant, but as a customer the result is the same: shit don’t work on m1.

Seems like totally bog standard USB-C, just like the rest of their devices.
Because I think Alex Agius Saliba will have an unkind word to Apple if they try to pull that shit.
However, it does look like Apple may have walked this back post-rumor. I genuinely hope they did. We'll find out soon enough.
Whee.
The goal of the EU legislation is to avoid people needing special chargers and cables per device.
