Re: By the time it is standard
Umm, calm down.
The EU mandate only covers power, and for a sensible reason. I can recall a time where even phones from the same manufacturer needed a new power supply with every model - Nokia, for instance, only started to settle for one single round pin standard later in life.
There's absolutely nothing in the spec that mandates that a company ONLY has to use USB-C, and I'm glad for that - I like having a HDMI port on the machine for when I need to present at a place where they have as yet not implemented wireless capabilities (I can use to all standards, including Apple's).
