    This isn’t Apple being nice.

    This is Apple wanting to sell things in California, combined with Apple not wanting to manufacture two separate versions of their devices for the US market.

    This is also why everyone gets USB-C iPhones now, instead of only the EU.

      They supported this legislation before it was passed. Still not out of the goodness of their hearts, this version includes provisions that they had wanted previously.

        IIRC: They battled this talking point/discussion and legislation for years. Up until a week before it was voted on and passed.

        They are not your friend.
