Legit concerns. But for what % of Apple iPhone owners do they apply?

For the majority of uses a majority of the time a standard connector is better than non-standard one. Let's just pop the champagne, toast the win, and move on.

I wish USB C has a way of determining charging direction. This is often annoying when you try to use phones as power banks. Would be nice if some type C cables can be directional, i.e. preferentially charging in one direction if at all possible.
