The latest example is the fact that they want to mandate what kind of power ports come on smart phones. According to The Verge, Europe is a step closer to requiring that all smartphones use USB-C ports in order to reduce e-waste. Of course, the notable target of this law would be Apple which uses the Lightning port on all iPhones.
The European Union shows the rest of the world that they have no problem with being the “nanny state”. It seems that no issue is too small for European bureaucrats to meddle in.

I heard some rumors in the mid-February time frame about Apple possibly making foldable tablets or Macs that have no physical keyboards but hinged screens. Ever since I’ve been thinking more and more that this is something I’d love to see happen. I really wouldn’t know for sure until I tried one out because everything is a balance of priorities. Would the extra screen space be worth the extra weight?
I agree with Tim Cook who said that the AirPod Pro’s aren’t meant to be a replacement for the regular AirPods but are an essential accessory alongside them.
