This doesnt really surprise me - Apple has a history of implementing, or moving to, standards for their platform features in Safari.
I think about Apple Pay for web - it started out as a proprietary API, and then the Payment Request API standard was developed and they added support for that.
It's in Apple's interest to help develop and support standards like this because they mean more adoption of their platform features.

- chadlavi 6y agoNot OC, but they probably mean iPhones. I wish iPhones would switch to USB-C too; my iPhone is now the only device I own that isn't USB-C.
- jimmydorry 6y agoIn another generation or two, I would expect it to be port-less (wireless). This generation was the one to change to USB-C if it were on their roadmap... but I guess time will tell.

- kube-system 6y agoI hope they don't switch. I think Lightning is a better engineered connector -- it is very durable and attaches much more positively. I am 100% on board with USB-C on computers -- but the use cases that apply to a laptop/desktop are very different than how people use phones.
