Plenty of Apple products already use USB-C. Apple products aside, I'm sure the average household has USB-C cables by now

Besides, existing phones are obviously going to stay Lightning. Cables aren't going to be thrown out any earlier than the phones themselves

At this point, I think even the average household in developing countries has USB-C. And that's probably due to entry-level android phone makers choosing to go with it.
