Also why is it awesome on iPad Pros since years but no good on iPhones? The marketing was always contradicting itself.

The reason is money.

It’s more complicated than that. There are lots of people that will be very annoyed when they unbox their iPhone and their plug that they don’t think about at all doesn’t work in the 7 places they’ve left them.

Just wait.

I already did this moving from micro to USB-C and it wasn’t that bad. Plus if they’re apple people and have MacBooks/iPads they already got a few.

Those Apple cables die very quickly, so replacing them with longer lasting cables is actually cost effective.

Sure, instead of 1 cable every 3 months it is 7 cables at the same time, but still no excuse.

I’d wager part of it was because of the outrage when they switched from the 30 pin was significant

When was that? Was Obama already president? Move on, people.

I think they did promise to (it suggest they would?) support the lightning connector for a decade when they changed it from their original big connector.

I’m not naive enough to think that takes precedence over “money” as an answer, but maybe it was a factor?
