I remember my disappointment last year when the iPhone 14 Pro came out and didn’t have USB-C. I wrote this post, “Why Apple Needs to Dump the Lightning Port on the Next iPhone Pro.” I knew it would eventually happen, and it took another year. Apple makes a lot of money licensing Lightning and certifying 3rd party cables/accessories. Although they had switched to USB-C on all their other pro products and even some of their lower-end products, they held off going to USB-C as long as possible. I get it.
