Now they just need to get USB-C on the next iPhone, and everyone will complain that Lightning was fine. They should have done USB-C from the beginning for lightning, but it wasn't ready yet (and still really isn't in terms of ecosystem and standardization in practice).

> USB-C on the next iPhone

Not gonna happen, iOS devices are Apple devices.

The best you can hope for is a short 1st party lightning to USB-C female, but this probably won't happen for a while as USB-C spec requires ANYTHING with a receptacle to talk to the thing on the other end.

USBc was a response to lighting, so that would be difficult.
