And they won&#x27;t when ditching the 3.5mm audio jack?!<p>By the time iphone7 is released, every other major phone will have already adopted USB type c. Maybe people will be happier that they can borrow a friend&#x27;s android&#x27;s cable since it is usable. USB type c ports will be absolutely everywhere soon anyway.<p>I don&#x27;t think Apple is afraid of pissing people off. E.g., they made the macbook air have just one port usb type c port... (I must say I rather like that they are willing to do this, these are the decisions that really establish usb type c port! I just wish they&#x27;ll do it with iphone7 too)
