It's OK to make decisions with long-term beneficial impacts that may come with short-term negatives. I'd also wager the majority of iPhone users have USB-C cables already.

Why would they? I can guarantee my parents don't. I guess I got one last year when I got an Xbox controller to connect to the PC, but I don't want to use that one for my phone, it stays with the controller.

I guess if I'm going to replace my phone I should do it soon while I can still use my existing cables with the new one.

You're going to buy an 800 dollar phone to avoid spending 20 dollars on wires?
