Apple isn't happy about India's demand to upgrade older iPhones with USB-C::Apple has urged the Indian IT ministry to make changes to its single charger rules, as adding USB-C to older iPhone models will make it hard for Apple to meet production targets for India's manufacturing and export laws.

Why so? They have moved to USB C already.

But they’re not going to redesign all the older iPhone models to have USB-C. They’ll just stop selling those models.

Edit: and there’s no fucking way that the Indian government can successfully compel Apple to repair every iPhone 14-or-under in India. That is simply not happening.

I assumed it's new models, not retroactively fitting them, as in newly produced ones.

They’re already switching to USB-C for all the new models due to EU regulations.
