Sep 2012: lightning shipped on iPhones

Aug 2014: usb-c standard written, so no devices yet.

this ordering keeps being overlooked in comments.




USB-C has been standard on phones for 5 years now, yet new iPhones still have proprietary ports. Why?


I don't know the answer either.

I wonder if some research suggests a port change would stall phone upgrades among enough users of earlier models, and that phone upgrades are lucrative.
