But they did not see themselves as a utility supplier. They preferred having the superior charging cable over licensing it to others. This way they protected their market share on Iphones.

I don't know, maybe I'm just in a minority but personally I don't care enough about what port is on a phone that that's my primary concern when choosing a new phone. Sure, if a similarly spec'd phone at a similar price point drops I might take it into account, but for the most part I buy the best phone I can with the budget I have
