ironically of course if you've got a new iPhone, you'll need an adapter to use the headset on the Macbook pro.
The problem, to me, of the port selection is that it means pretty much every user is going to have to carry a selection of adapters for years to come given the installed base of USB peripherals + things like projectors that do not have a USB-C port. Other laptops seem to do a better job of phasing things in gradually introducing USB-C ports whilst not immediately dropping the older ones to give people time to adapt.
Precisely. When will Apple start shipping iOS devices with USB C chargers? When will the desktops move over to this "better" standard? If the main impetus is thinness (which isn't important for desktops), then will we have years of transition, where peripherals come with cables that may or may not work, depending on computer type?
