I mean, that’s fantastic for you, but not everyone has the money to just upgrade all of their equipment the moment a port changes, so we’re forced to buy $100 adapters for everything.

It’d be fun if at least the iPhone was chargeable with usb-c, but even that requires an adapter.

That's such weird reasoning. You spend over 1k (3k in my case) to get the latest version of a premium brand laptop, but can't afford the cables? Those cables cost $2-5 each on AliExpress. If that's too much, you definitely shouldn't be spending over 1k on a laptop.

Also, there are usb-c to lightning cables, so I'm not sure why you think you need an adapter.
