I don't get it, are you saying Apple should've shipped 2 Lightning cables in the iPhone 7 box? One that would be useless unless you happened to buy a USB-C MacB

The iPhone is a device for everybody, and accordingly, it ships with a charging/data cable that fits the most ports across all modern computers and chargers.
- woah 10y agoThey should have put a USB-c into the iPhone.
- amiga-workbench 10y agoBut then they can't have their special snowflake ecosystem of overpriced accessories.
- extra88 10y agoI agree but as I wrote in another comment, I fear they never will because it's thicker than Lightning (and USB Mini) and they're obsessed with thinness.
- orbitur 10y agoOkay, put a USB-C port on the phone. Now what? Make the other end also USB-C so it plugs into virtually nothing? Also, weren't we talking about the non-phone side in the first place?
- zumu 10y agoA better move might have been to ship it with a USB-C/Thunderbolt cable, and a small adapter for USB-C -> USB. That way it still works out of the box, they get to keep their dongle eco-system and it pushes the new USB-C standard and accordingly both the Macbook and Macbook Pro.
