Doesn't seem to make any sense to change away from Lightning.  As noted, it is possible for iPhones to have fast charging provided it is a USB-C at the other end and the right power adapter.  What other benefits are there (other than "I don't have to carry a separate cable for my other theoretical devices...")?

I would say the next move Apple makes is to do away with such a port completely - going with inductive charging completely and high speed wireless.  That might not be for a number of years, but switching to USB-C on the iPhone itself seems an "un-Apple" move.

Wireless charging is not for everyone. Personally, not being able to use the phone or iPad while it's charging is a major problem for me.

To be clear, you’re saying you’re against this because you can’t use an iPhone X while it’s charging?

For me, yes. I have a wireless charger on my nightstand for my iPhone X and a 10-ft Lightning cable that I also use for charging. I usually fall asleep in bed flipping through my iPhone. Considering that I normally doze off somewhere in between browsing on my phone, the wireless charging pad has become useless to me -- I just wake up with a dead phone by pillow. But when I plug it in to the charger at night, I can still lay in bed, browse, fall asleep, let it charge and wakeup in the morning with a topped off device.

The only time I really use the wireless charger is in the car, where I am not actively using the phone.

While USB-C offers fast-charging capabilities, iPhone X and iPhone 8 users are able to take advantage of this technology by using a USB-C-to-Lightning cable with a 30-watt USB-C power adapter. 

But that would set you back $70, right? $50 for the power adapter and $20 for the USB-C to Lightning cable. That a boatload of money just to enable fast charging support IMHO.

Apple never releases products until they are fully baked. But when they do, it's worth the wait.

MBP Butterfly-Key Keyboard?

All I want is a multi-user support for the iPad in iOS 12. I share an iPad (2018) with our son. He uses it for school stuff and games; I use it for reading eBooks, surfing the web etc. I have no interest in buying a separate tablet because one works fine. But it sure would be nice if I could enable iMessages without him seeing my information, and for us to have our own home pages/Safari bookmarks/history, etc.

It seems like such a no-brainer thing to add and I don't know what has taken so long.
