Lightning, although proprietary, is an amazing port compared to the mess that is USB. I am going to miss it once Apple phases it out.

  It's easy to make a universal port when your universe is a small handful of your own devices with no numbers to live up to.

    The "small handful" adds up to about a billion devices, but it's true that they were made by a single manufacturer.

      A billion devices, but just 24 different ones, over 3 product lines, plus a couple of trivial, slow ones like keyboards.
