... ye-es? I agree with you but.... WHY DID APPLE CHANGE THE PORTS ON THEIR LAPTOPS and iPads???? Somewhere in the depths of One Infinity drive there is a hooded bean-counter bent over a blood-splattered ledger. He mumbles in an ancient and long-dead tongue as he enters his numbers one by one. At the end of his ritual the book is torn from his horned and gnarled fingers, his throat is slit and the ledger brought to the desk of the CEO. An acolyte stands there, all in black and trembling. The CEO motions to the book and the acolyte steps forwards. She reads the numbers aloud, decodes the mystic meanings and pronounces: "No USB-C ports for the iPhone users" and collapses. The acolyte is carried from the room never to be seen again. The CEO rubs his fingers together and a smile crosses his hooded face. "Excellent," he hisses. "Excellent!" Fuck Apple

Most customers want to keep the same connector, because they already have chargers and cables, and sometimes even accessories, for it.
USB-C is better in the long run, but that doesn't make it better now.
