Stop selling USB and innovate wireless connection and wireless charging as one interactive module.
USB ports will stop working after a few years and the replacement not always easy to find/replaced.
Using USB as charging port is rather stupid idea (small cable cores led to limited current transfer and slow charging, easily broken contact plates).

      Good that they are replacing the cables voluntarily. However, cables are one area Apple have to improve drastically.

        USB-C is the worst standard ever. There is no minimum standard for it. Plus not having USB 3.1 as a minimum requirement for using USB-C cables is TERRIBLE. The USB Consortium is a bunch of total fraudsters.

          This shouldn't have happened to begin with if Apple didn't cheapen products to squeeze more profit.

            Not just cables. Over the past 4 years Apple iphones (possible exception with the 6) have been plagued by quality problems too.
