Agreed. This is the better way to argue that we vote with our dollars. If iPhone had a monopoly (which they absolutely don't) intervention is welcome. There is no reason anyone is forced to use a Lightning cable and still enjoy the fair marketplace.

Where do I get to vote for an iPhone with a USB-C port with my wallet?

I'm trying to vote for a device that runs iOS and uses a standard usb cable. Please specify the ballot box.

As far as I know, the marketplace offers no choice, so I need to use alternative voting to make it available

You get to vote by not purchasing an iPhone and buying an android that has usb-c. You have no divine right to a device running a proprietery Operating System developed by a company with a port of your choice if said company doesn't want to manufacture it as such.
