USB C has been pushed for at least four years now. No it does not have a good track record.

Maybe Google is nice enough to comply. Fair! But apples larger and doesn't. Which speaks volumes. You know what I mean? It's ironic because USA does nothing about it...at all. But it's unfortunate because every iPhone still uses that crappy lightning cable and AFAIK I read something saying they make $200m a year on accessories like those cables and adapters.

The new iPhone 15 is launching with a USB c port, the iPad moved there a little while ago and their laptops and such all have usb C ports
