I just realized that, due to EU's USB-C standardization, I as an Android user can't use the "I don't have an iPhone Charger" excuse anymore if someone asks.

God damn it, now I have to overtly say that "no, I don't want anyone touching my phone charger"
(The law is good, but this is just an unintended consequence of that 😓)
Sounds kinda petty? Idgaf what other people use, if they need charge they can get charge.
I just tell iphone users I don't respect them for their choices in life. It's not that hard.
You can say "sorry, I don't have chargers for Apple stuff."
"Can I use your wall socke..."
"None of them are for Apple stuff, either, sorry."
You can still say no,
because it's not an iphone charger. You aren't required to and they aren't entitled.You could probably make a power supply that refuses to charge iPhones.
That's so mischievous, that would drive someone insane trying to troubleshoot the issue. That being said, I feel like we're above the idea of creating walled gardens.
Don't worry, Apple saved you here. While the plug is technically a USB C, it must be an Apple charger to properly charge their crap-phones. Anything "less" only allows very slow charging.
In my experience this isn't true at all but could b a good excuse if you need one
you can say that you have an old iphone charger
“Oh thank you! I have an SE model!”
I still do cause most iUsers I've encountered don't understand standards. Once one of them said " yeah but it's USB c? " to which I replied yes but the version for pixel phones. He didn't insist.

In my experience I have more iPhone chargers stolen from me than anything else. iPhone users are cheap, can't even be bothered to change to non-default ringtones because they cost money 🤣
