You're not wrong. They pulled the A ports way too early. I upgrade more aggressively than a normal user (though less than a real cutting-edge enthusiast) and have only recently passed the 50/50 mark for devices in semi-regular use that use A vs C. A-terminated cords are still at least as popular on devices on store shelves, as C. This, years after Apple made a hard transition. If they'd at least brought the rest of their line-up over at the same time, that'd help sell me on that having been a good idea. But no, have to carry at least two types of charging cable when traveling, still, even with an all-Apple set of equipment.
