 @c531994e This is just a small thing, but I'm glad that the iphone is finally joining the rest of the world and using a standard charging port--- USB-C-- rather than their proprietary "lightning". Currently, I'm carrying around three charging cables for all of my devices (lightning, USB-C, and micro USB). Looking forward to eventually reducing that to just one cable.

 @2185cf75 @c531994e I am also very happy Apple finally switched on the iPhone to USB-C. Given that the iPad Pro did so earlier I figured it was coming eventually. That said, my guess is I will always have two to three USB-C cables on me so I can charge my iPhone, iPad, and Surface silmultaneously if needed. This is why, for me at least, the port change really only means that when I grab a random cable the likelihood it is the right cable goes up a few ticks.
