ITT people pretending this is a spite based move, when realistically it is probably cutting costs by reusing the same hardware they used for lightning ports just soldering on a USB-C port instead of a lightning one.

dude usb 3.0 is 15 years old by now, and they're a trillion dollar company. They'll manage, this is 100% by choice

One could argue that you don't become a trillion dollar company by leaving money on the table.

One could argue, greed is a subset of malice, and spite isn't mutually exclusive with any of it.

Public companies aren't really driven by spite. At least not for its own sake.
