I actually don’t mind this change. I just hope the EU pushes for it on things that aren’t phones. Like over the ear headphones, electric razors, and a bunch of other junk around my house that each has its own DC power brick.

Sounds awesome, actually. Like the jack-in cables for PETs in MegaMan Battle Network finally coming into existence. That I can see maybe requiring regulation to a degree, because its functional and potentially dysfunctional.

I meant that your sarcasm about mandating colors is absolutely right, there's a certain point where you're not regulating corporate greed but removing freedom of speech. Art and money are strange bedfellows but expression of self is more likely to win against a pointless moneymaking machine than an ideology of conformist nationalism.

Like over the ear headphones

I think they make USB-C over the ear headphones. Admittedly I've used bluetooth since before iPhones had it built-in so I'm clueless about wired over-ear USB-C headphones specifically.

My sarcasm was more aimed at Apple, because I cannot believe they picked those hideous colors without being forced to by law. I guess no one got the joke. 🤷‍♂️

They are doing that, but not for literally everything. There's a bunch of categories affected
