Seems like this is forcing people to buy USB-C chargers.

- a2dam 3y agoNo other Apple products include a USB A port. It's to standardize the whole ecosystem on USB C.
- lozenge 3y agoThe last power adapters and cables bundled with iPhones already had USB C connection.

- imp0cat 3y agoI think most cars nowadays come with USB-C (or a mixture of USB-A and USB-C) ports. Same with chargers and computers.
