The company that released a computer with only a single usb-c port wasn't moving towards usb-c all along? They've included a usb-c to lightning cable in the box for awhile. Apple remembers the 30 pin transition and the customer complaints so they have tried to make this move a bit more staged. Even then, I've already seen tons of complaints from non-tech users about having to buy new cables.

Definitely not in phones, because Apple is the laggard in this case. Many Android phones were already USB.
Also, there was that whole thing where the EU wanted to cut own on e-waste and mandate USB-C as a common charging standard, and Apple fought it tooth and nail.
