That's increasingly not true with the single exception of the iPhone (and even it now uses USB-C for the adapter and Qi for the wireless charge protocol). Every other new device (iPads, laptop and desktop) is 100% USB-C. And, again, you don't even strictly need a lightning cable for your iPhone for most scenarios (airport charging type scenarios used to be the big exception in olden times). Some reviewers are guessing that iPhones will drop the wired charge port entirely at some point, so will become a moot point. And as for squeezing customers, switching away from the Lightning port would "squeeze" quite a few iPhone customers with lightning cables and docks and such strewn around their house. I just wish Apple had included a puck-type Qi charger and cable in the box. Could have kept the box pretty slim.
