AppleInsider said:

The agreement's goal is to reduce electronic waste in the system since smartphone owners could use one cable to charge multiple devices. 

... will the E.U. force manufacturers to sell devices WITHOUT charging cables? If not, I guess the reduced waste is for aftermarket cables?

    The article states that phones will have to be sold without chargers, and notes that Apple has been doing so for the last couple of iPhone cycles.

I specifically wrote “charging cables”, by which I mean “the wire that connects a power adapter to your phone””.I’m well aware that Apple removed power adapters  in 2020.

Who buys this watch? Did you ever consider that it’s mostly parents for their kids, and that the features and the size are well suited for them?

There will likely be something at the same price point. As the article stated, maybe the current SE will come down to this price point when the new models are introduced this year.

I’m trying to remember the last time Apple reduced the price of anything. If anything, the SE will become the new entry-level model at the same price it is now. 

September?

Is the current, painful update process well-suited for them also? The series 3 must die.
