    Because they co-developed it and it is the better connector if you want to do anything other than charging.

        Because when they switched from the 30 pin connector to lightning, everybody bitched and moaned about it. So they promised they’d keep lightning for a decade. It’s been 11 years.

        But I’m sure if they’d broken their promise and switched earlier, everyone would have been understanding.
