> I'm going to contend this isn't so much subverting EU rules but rather trying to ensure that Apple won't get blamed when someone uses a cable that can't handle the power when plugged in given that there's not a good standard out there for this and no enforcement of the "ok, there's something - try this..."
That's just not true. The USB-IF won't certify a cable unless it can do 20V @ 3A, which is around 2x the voltage at 3A that the iPhone would even try to do.
If true, this is just money-grab and spiteful behavior out of Apple, nothing more.
