Can you point me to that USBC clarification? I thought that they had only specified a wired charging standard and that you could get around it by using only wireless charging.
I'm pretty sure I read a similar exception for this battery law that was gonna make it not really apply to phones, but I can't find it now.

No exceptions.
Leaks suggests that the iPhone 15 will have a USB-C charging port. Also I can't imagine Apple going full wireless thus incapacitating the user's ability to effectively use the phone while charging.
I can. They'll just figure out some sort of clamping accessory for their wireless chargers.
They already have magsafe chargers. TBH that would be the best move for Apple. The downside would be no more direct cable data backups. That makes me think no choice but USBC for this next phone.
Wouldn’t MagSafe achieve that functionality if that’s the case? 🤔
