«Apple has gradually added USB-C ports to its other hardware over the 
past few years. It was the first to put USB-C on a laptop in 2015. Then 
iPads started the transition from Lightning to USB-C. You can say the 
iPhone was inevitably going to be next in line, but Apple has been 
collecting licensing fees from third parties that make accessories 
utilizing the Lightning port through the company's Made for iPhone (MFi) 
program. Why lose out on all that cash? Apple's hand was forced by the 
European Union, which passed a law in 2022 requiring phones, tablets, 
and cameras sold in the region to come equipped with a USB-C port by the 
end of 2024.»

Interoperability :-)
