Shouldn't be so surprising, just as many people (hopefully much less) are arbitrarily consooming product as are pragmatic—especially in a severely lame economic environment—when it comes to the value something brings into their life, and usb-c to any pragmatic person was probably the most relevant inconvenience to getting the most value they can out of their device.
I've never owned an iPhone, and mainly think of the phone I do have as at best a minor addition to my life, but put a battery-efficient modem in my mac and I'll be all over that, because it lets me keep my phone off almost all the time.
Aside from that though, it's always neat to see incremental innovation anyway, but it would all be superfluous to me even if I was in the iPhone game.
