It wasn't a thing Apple had sole control over.
And they still use it for keyboard and mouse (with usb-c on the other end).
- rootusrootus 2y agoThe design may have been started in 2012, but the first hardware to come to market was in 2014. Apple wanted to ditch the dock connector, and Micro-USB is awful. Lightning may have stuck around a little longer than I'd have liked, but it was pretty solid technologically.
