The EU is enforcing USB-C on portable devices
Black Phoenix:
Regarding the power tools battery system talked before, where Bosch and other brands join together in developing tools who use the same battery system:

Yeah I know is typical marketing blab, just stating that in some cases standards are not bad for the consumer.

USB-C is a pile of shit connector design. Data speeds aside, lightning is many times more robust and more well thought through in terms of design. Based on this, it stands to reason that Apple will supercede it with a better, equally (or more) robust plug and socket than the current lightning port. USB-C doesn't factor into their plans for phones; anyone with enough nouse and experience with the DNA and ethos of Apple KNOWS this, it's not even a point of "discussion" as it's not gonna happen.
iPad needs more power to charge, so Apple used USB-C a stop-gap until whatever plans they have for a new connector (or maybe just wireless, but VERY doubtful based on the appalling efficiency and fad-like nature of current wireless charging garbage) are released into their portfolio of devices.
Apple AIN'T everyone else. They don't care what everyone else is doing, nor what they want. Traditional thought patterns and simplistic assumptions DO NOT WORK when analysing Apple. You don't get to become mobile product leader by tagging along and kowtowing to the whims of what others do, or what the public and the other OEMs want. Nope. They DOMINATE the tablet and phone markets. They will do what they have planned, do not underestimate the brains at Cupertino, they're light years ahead of the rest.
What you see as a "new" Apple product is old hat... they've had that finished and on the shelf, ready to go, signed off and have moved onto the next 3-4 generations of designs LONNNNNNG ago. It's new TO US, not to them.
USB-C on iPhone won't ever happen. Print this out and take it to the bank, cash it when I'm shown to be right. I know Apple inside out.

And USB on Apple devices will never happen because Firewire is so much better.

You're a funny man. But I'm a correct one. Wait and see.

Bullcrap. Apple gladly uses industry standards when they suffice. It’s only when no industry standard meets their requirements that they roll their own. That’s the Apple DNA/ethos.
I’m honestly not sure why Apple hasn’t moved the iPhone to USB-C yet. The only argument against it is that existing iPhone owners already have lots of Lightning accessories.
