The UK adopts various EU rules, a lot of stuff even sold in Northern Ireland has to abide by EU rules (so just say that Apple did make separate lightning and USB C phones, they'd have to use separate operations to sell specific ones in parts of the UK and not others, it probably would have been easier for them to just sell the European models)
