Are we pretending that Apple doesn't sell USB-C to Lightning cables?

For a special bonus you no longer have to carry two AC adapters, your USB-C to Lightning cable goes into the same AC adapter as your laptop if you wish.

There are better arguments for Apple's connectivity issues. I haven't had to directly attach my phone to my Mac in years. Sure, there are use-cases, but really, how many people plug their phones into their computers on a regular basis?

I do a lot more than you'd think, usually it's because I use the laptop as an extra battery to give my phone a quick boost while I'm traveling.

It also uses a lot of battery to use your phone as a wifi hotspot, using USB to share the internet connection is a lot more economical (you're actually charging the phone while it's happening.)

I plug my phone I to my laptop daily, but mostly just to charge. It may as well be a wall.

Getting anything you make onto an iPhone from Xcode would be my pain point.

Maybe your employer can purchase the appropriate cable for you, so you aren't burdened with another dongle.

Continuity. No cables required.

via their "cloud".

now if you refuse to give apple all your email, wifi passwords, pictures, etc, you will not have any integration.

Mostly like google stuff. If i do not give google my wifi passwords then i can't get my android watch to use wifi at all! Apple is just catching up on the game they invented.
