While on winter holidays my fiance pointed out to me:
- She just got a new Macbook Pro from her new job, which has only USB C ports
- She just got a new iPhone 7 from her new job, which is only a Lightning port
She cannot connect her phone to her computer to charge without a dongle. EDIT: a Lightning to USB C cable does exist now. That is still equivalent to a dongle in my opinion, as the consumer still has to buy it and it is a cable that won't be used for anything else.
She has to carry two sets of headphones, one for her computer, and one for her phone.

The unified vision at Apple is gone.
