It would be foolish to think that the company that started shipping notebooks with only USB-C five years ago, and that transitioned its iPads to USB-C something like three years ago, wasn't going to make a phone with USB-C eventually. I mean, you'd have to be disingenuous about the facts to take such a position.
It would be foolish to think that a company that goes far out of it's way to make walled gardens would open up it's charging port to an industry standard making it easier to use charging cables from other phones. They kept the thunderbolt as long as possible until the EU told them to quit the crap.
You don't know what you're talking about. It's a Lightning port. Thunderbolt is an industry standard, developed to share a USB-C plug by Intel and Apple. Lightning was Apple tech.
