If they had used a usb-c plug on the iPhone 7 there would be a lot of blow back when iPhone's port fried since people were using third party cables that weren't regulated. It doesn't matter if Apple tells them not to use it. Media will put the blame on Apple even though it's the manufacturer's responsibility. This is why they require lightning cables to be certified. There are many more iPhone users than MacBook Pro users out there. My guess is there will still be some people bringing in fried ports to the Apple store, but it'll be a lot less than if they had released usb-c on the iPhone. http://phandroid.com/2016/10/14/recommended-usb-c-chargers-for-pixel-phone/ http://phandroid.com/2016/10/14/recommended-usb-c-chargers-f... By the wrong cable, fry your phone.
