So you're mad that the regulation doesn't personally take your specific situation into account?

Could you maybe see or understand that maybe the regulation is a bit more "big picture" than specific individuals needs, like society at large?

There are millions of iPhone users in the UK. It seems unlikely that I'm the only one with a bunch of soon to be useless cables.

The majority of people in the world (EU included) have a different phone than iPhone.

Also, bit unrelated to bring up the UK (or your UK-situation) with all of this, the submission is about a EU regulation. But you seem to already get that. However:

> Apple will no doubt consider it easier to supply EU compliant iPhones in the UK, for which I can't really blame them, but I'll gladly shake my fist at Brussels over it.

Aren't Apple the ones you should bitch about instead? EU forces Apple to act within EU regulation in the EU-zone, and Apple might just follow EU regulation in the UK because it's easier, and then you blame the EU?
