Remember the uproar when Apple switched from the 30 pin connector to the Lightning adaptor? Apple promised they would stick with Lightning for at least 10 years. Next year is the 10th anniversary of that decision.
Meanwhile the Lightning adaptor inspired USB-C. Apple has adopted USB-C on their iMac, MacBook and iPad product lines. I expect Apple to adopt USB-C on next year's iPhone as well, since it's the 10th anniversary of adopting Lightning.
On the bright side, by "Apple hating it", we're not stuck with the abomination known as micro-USB. We've come to a better place. Who knows? Maybe Apple was right all along.
