The iPhone will support USB-C charging in the European Union to comply with a new ruling that mandates electronic devices have a common charging standard, an Apple executive said

“Obviously we will have to comply,” Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing, said at the Wall Street Journal’s Tech Live conference, in the first remarks from a company official since the ruling came out Monday. “We have no choice, like we do around the world, to comply with local laws, but we think the approach would have been better environmentally and better for our customers to not have a government be that prescriptive,” he said.

The law would effectively require Apple\n \n to move away from the proprietary Lightning charger it uses for devices in the EU, and could potentially extend to devices Apple\n \n sells in other markets as well if the company decides to streamline its products globally. Joswiak called the European government “well meaning” and said, “I get the fact that they want to accomplish a good thing.
