NO
This question resolves to "YES" if phones sold by Apple in the EU in Autumn 2024, do not feature a USB C port following a new law: https://www.engadget.com/eu-reaches-deal-to-make-usb-c-a-common-charger-for-most-electronic-devices-104605067.html This could be by only having wireless charging for example

@Nils I believe this resolves NO; the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max all have USB C charging, just as the iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro, and 15 Pro Max had before them.

Just a week after we posted exclusive renders of the iPhone 15 Pro based off CAD files, we managed to obtain 3D CAD files for the iPhone 15, which reveal some of the design changes and features that Apple is planning for its next-generation smartphone.

...

Another change that we spotted on the CAD files is that the iPhone 15 will finally adopt USB-Type C as its charging port.

Assuming their files are accurate, which they likely are, Apple decided to go with USB C.

@Gabrielle Leakers claimed iPhone 13 would be usb-c and then iPhone 14 so I’d take it with a grain of salt

I think the only way they could pull this off is with the long-speculated portless iPhone. There certainly is a chance they'll manage to do that until the iPhone 16.

Regulations are no match for Tim Apple.
This is very similar to https://manifold.markets/NickHansen/will-apple-announce-an-iphone-with But I will keep it up, as it is slightly different
