I'm from the Future. Guess What! 2018 iPhones which cost over $1000 still come bundled with a paltry 5W charger.

Senses, 27 Jun 2018They don't need to pay royalties?? Do you know how royaltie... moreI mean if they switch to USB-C they can't milk $$$ from royalties and licensing fees paid by other brands (to them) that will use their Lightning Port.. Since USB-C by its name is universal, and non-proprietary, they won't be able to make $$$ from that since they don't have patent for that, being universal and sort of open source. Sheesh.

But they're still using Lightning as connector for the iPhone end of the device. Of course, if they used USB-C on both sides they can't milk $$$ in royalties from using the Lightning connector.

The charging block will have a USB-C port. The cable will be USB-C to Lightning. The port on the phones will still be a Lightning port.

What about people with Mac mini?
What about people with Mac Pro?
What about people with MacBook Air?
What about people with Apple Watch? Now they need usb-c and type A port! omg.. Where's the AirPower when you need it??!
You brought this upon yourself Apple! If you are bold enough to upgrade your products across the line.. you will not be bugged by dongle squid, legacy ports.. Especially App developers are being screwed the most by YOU!

I respect apples ability to sell products,but I hate dealing with their consumer base for the most part. They're either terribly uninformed or snobby or just plain clueless as to the variety of available devices out there.
