  No port would still mean that the mandatory port is missing.
context: Fair enough. Most devices should be able to charge via USB C by then anyway. >
  
  One of my coworkers asked to borrow a cord for his phone recently. Knew he had android so grabbed my extra usb-c... dude's still on micro usb! >
  
  So what? Not everyone hangs the latest tech on their necks. >
  
  Wouldn't it be great if there was a very small device you could just carry with you that would allow usbc to work like a micro usb? >
  
  Or, and i know it's out of the box but hear me out, just have a micro usb cable for your micro usb device. >
  
  "India makes USB..."
  ...followed by a whole discussion about EU regulations.
  Praise the Brussels Effect... >
  
  The reason the regulations are being introduced is precisely because the industry hasn't managed to solve this on its own, with Apple stubbornly holding out.  This regulation is really aimed at Apple in particular.
  There is no good reason why the legislation can't update when the need for a new connector arises.  It may take a little longer for such a change to occur, but that's fine.  USB-C is great, and USB still has lots of room for innovation with the existing connector before we need to replace it.  We really don't need a new charger standard every 3 years and all the electronic waste that goes with it just because some manufacturer decided they needed a new marketing gimmick. >
  
  This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 63%. (I'm a bot)
  
  
  Device manufacturers have been given a deadline of March 2025, to ensure the products they sell in India have a USB Type-C port for charging.
  Called the common charger directive, device manufacturers will have to ensure that they follow a common USB Type-C wired charging standard.
  The European Union has already given a deadline of December 28, 2024 to device manufacturers for compliance, and the mandate will be enforced a few months after that in India, starting March 2025.

  I'm looking so forward to the next iphones and how they fuck people over with a no-port phone.
  One thing is for certain: They will get your money.
