Did it? Apple moved their last Lightning product (outside of iPhones & their accessories) earlier this week.

It seemed pretty clear they were going all USB-C, just on their own timeline. It was already widely expected next year.

I bet it would have happened within 2 years if the law wasn’t passed.

If all the iPads, or even most of them, were still Lightning I’d agree. But when even the cheapest model moved, the writing was on the wall.

Apple’s Mac peripheral accessories (keyboard, trackpad, mouse) are still all Lightning.


As are their AirPods (unfortunately). I just bought the new AirPods Pro and will attempt to keep them for a while if I can prevent my golden retriever from eating them this time, so it seems I'll have to keep some lightning cables around.
