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.
Exactly, it's complete overreach and isn't going to happen. What's been made has been made already. As you said, they simply stop shipping older model phones, and then Indian people will have less affordable phones to choose from. No way in hell Apple is cracking open phones and desoldering ports and replacing them, the cost would make the old ones cost more than the new ones.
Govts always take shit too far.
