Maybe the non-pro plebs get to buy a USB3 license on a subscription basis in the app store
It’s still wifi is still faster than lightning. And 99%(source: made it up, but probably pretty close) of the users never use a cable to transfer. They could also create the pins (like iPad have for keyboard) into a special MagSafe connector that supports data transfer at thunderbolt speeds, and then charge a lot for the new MagSafe Data port.
Again, not something I want.
i guess thunderbolt3 will unleashed something like the so called Samsung dex or motorola ready for Desktop UI but of course better
And Brazil gets the 1W charger in the box
and then you need qi charging as it doesn't charge anymore over the cable. And then the phone overheats and you need an active cooling solution for your phone compartment.
much simpler to just plug-in the cable.
Plus, you can't do backups and itunes sync over wireless. Apple would need to develop the software first.

That's the one thing I liked and didn't like in my rental car. I was like where the heck is the port, but then tapped the screen and was oh this is wireless. But only needed it a day or two so never really hunted for other ports or the 12V jacks
Does Apple sell USB-C to USB-A cables? That is needed for Carplay, but last time I checked did not see any on Apple's site
They actually do. For a ridiculous amount of money though.

So after spending over 1000 for a new phone I will need to buy a bunch of cables
That's the apple way.
Had to buy one for my iphone as well to charge it.
At least with USB-C we can use standard cabling.

It's from the apple shop.That's not from Apple tho
I highly doubt Apple makes their own cables. They probably buy in bulk and sell them under their own branding. At least some of them.
I also bought one of these overprized ones from the apple store when I got my iphone because I didn't want to wait for my aliexpress order to arrive in order to charge it and synchronize it. I think it was also branded from mophie and not apple. It was a bit spontaneous.
So basically the same situation with lightning and USB-C.
My ipad for example came with an apple branded cable and charger. Same for the Macbook, but that has MagSafe on the other end (which I really like).

There is precedent for that kind of stuff. Back in the early Intel MacBook days, we had to pay to enable 802.11n wireless functionality, otherwise back down to .11b speeds if I remember correctly.Maybe the non-pro plebs get to buy a USB3 license on a subscription basis in the app store

In addition to colorized shuffles, Apple also slipped the 802.11n enabler to …

For those shooting and transferring lengthy video in 4K it's probably a big deal. I've been fine transferring with AirDrop. Set it to go, make some coffee. Done. I tend not to obsess about ports and notches, though I'm one of the few that still misses the audio jack. That was an "upgrade" that negatively affected my regular use of the device (boohoo!).
