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.

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.
