Looks like apple is indeed going all-in on USB-C. What's interesting is:
> People won’t even be able to physically connect their iPhones to Apple’s flagship laptops without a $25 new cord.
I wonder if this means that Apple's going to switch the iPhone and iPad over to USB-C? It'd be a pain for everybody invested in Lightning ports, but Android phones seem to be slowly converging on it. It'd be pretty cool if USB-C became a real standard port for everything. And they have done it before, when they switched to Lightning in the first place.
