It would be interesting if Apple's only USB-C models were "iPhone Pro" models which are always more expensive than the regular models. That would be how Apple could profit from the new EU law, by selling only higher priced models in the EU. Even if all iPhone models supported USB-C, Apple could simply refrain from selling the cheaper models (lower storage models) in the EU market. I think the majority of Europeans would pay more money to stay in the Apple ecosystem, because buying an iPhone has never been about saving money.
I don't think the EU could ever pass a law saying, "You must sell every version of the iPhone inside the EU that you sell outside the EU."
