Apple's issue was they timed it around a shift to USB-C chargers. Their argument was everyone already had plenty of chargers, but no one had the new ones (well, some people did obviously but they hadn't gotten it with a previous iPhone). That's why they cop so much flak over it.

I agree that conceptually it's a good change, they just picked a bastard of a time to do it (one could argue that was deliberate of course).
