I live in a household where one uses Android and the other Apple. The Apple user has always commented how it would be muchh easier to just switch to the USB-C, especially after having purchased an iPad Pro that does have USB-C. I plan to finally jump to the Apple side with the iPhone 15 Ultra or Max (whichever they decide to name it) but if they put a limitation of having to use Apple propriety USB-C cables to get the fastest charging, I'll go with the Samsung S24 Ultra when it is released early next year.
Are all the other electronics you have sporting USB-C? And, just out of curiosity, what are some of the other barriers keeping you from switching to iPhone? 😊
Like many have mentioned. Apple was dragged into updating to a USB-C kicking and screaming. They are looking for ways to turn it proprietary because milking their users is all they care about. They don't do things because they care about their loyal customers. They do things to extract every last penny from their blind, loyal customers. That is why I would never buy anything from Apple. I am not a fat plumpy cow to a blood sucking vampire.
The EU has already squashed Apple's plans to try this in Europe. There were rumors Apple was goign to try to gimp the port, to only allow full speed charging and data transfers when only using an Apple licensed cable.
This alone shows how terrible this company is. Nothing new from them.
The main reason Apple didn't use the port they help design, was the revenue they would lose because USB-C is standard and Lightning is proprietary. Apple can't make money off open standards, which is why they don't use them.
IBM was also like this. See where they are now? They have been reduced from a hardware company to just software and server-side solutions.
Apple makes the majority of its cash on hardware, especially iPhone. In lost in revenue from iPhone, can't be made up on the Mac or iPad.
So Apples needed time to come up with a way to reduced these loses. You can expect, the phone price will rise and so will the prices of Apple's accessories as they likely will increase licensing of what they have left of proprietary products.

This is over exaggerated, ofc they want to milk/make money, every company wants to do that, not only apple.

Again, (of a product, idea, etc.) featuring new methods.
USB-C is a new method to the iPhone, ergo, it is innovative...to the iPhone; not in general. Didn't think I needed to walk you through this one.
It's not innovative in any definition. Simply doing what others have done for years is never innovation. Period.
