Never gunna happen you know how much cash the make off their proprietary port?
By the number of lightning cables that I have. A s%$& load of cash.
Ya, they’re not going to ditch it just when they started adding it to more devices… their Siri Remote, Pen, Keyboard and Mouse all use that port.
This makes more sense to have an adapter since the new MacBooks only have USB C. This would also point to the eventual grandfathering of USB A altogether on all their devices.
