I really hope Apple keeps lightning and just includes a dongle for phones sold in the EU.

The H1B program might have started out as a way to attract highly skilled workers, and that might still happen in some cases today, but by and large it's not resulting in the US pulling in top talent and it is used as a way to suppress
