> you have to carry around an awkward dongle adapter

Huh? It's not a dongle, it's just a cable. You do need a cable to connect your phone to your laptop.

But that's not a cable that everyone has everywhere.

So many times around me poor iPhone owners couldn't charge their phones at parties because nobody had their kind of cable around, while for microUSB you've got plenty of helpful charger and powerbank owners.

To be honest, lately owners of phones with USB-C were having the same problem, but I guess it's gonna change faster than with Lightning cables.
