And they won't when ditching the 3.5mm audio jack?! By the time iphone7 is released, every other major phone will have already adopted USB type c. Maybe people will be happier that they can borrow a friend's android's cable since it is usable. USB type c ports will be absolutely everywhere soon anyway. I don't think Apple is afraid of pissing people off. E.g., they made the macbook air have just one port usb type c port... (I must say I rather like that they are willing to do this, these are the decisions that really establish usb type c port! I just wish they'll do it with iphone7 too)
