So is the USB C port happening or still a rumor?
Apple pretty much confirmed it due to EU regulations.
On a side note, I think that level of regulation is dumb. Who decides when it’s time to move on from USB-C when a suitable replacement is made by someone? This isn’t 30 years ago. There’s effectively 2 charger types left. Silly to dictate that one standard needs to be used when the market sorted that out long ago.
There's a process built into the EU regulation to update it as improvements become possible with a potential switch to a new standard:
Yeah when phones moved from micro USB to USB c the regulations were fluid enough to handle it without any fuss. When we have the next standard I'd expect the same.
