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.

India gave Apple 2.5 years notice. And that doesn’t count the time the legislation was being proposed.

IMHO, it’s totally reasonable to say that newly purchased phones should support USB C, even if the phone’s architecture wasn’t introduced this year.

That sounds very reasonable, I thought they wanted them to retrofit them on phones that were already sold!

Yeah I thought the same, that would be wild.

But for models that are actively being produced, it's fair game.
