Apple is annoying for not using usb c yet but its whatever we will just have to get an adapter

China is like 88% Android, Apple's share of the mpbile business there is quite small, so it's perfectly understandable they'd go the USB-C route. Add to that the fact that Apple will soon either have to also switch to USB-C or completely abandon a wired charger completely in Europe, and it's really not even a choice anymore.

Yes this is a questionable choice. Sure MFI might add a bit more to the cost, but literally half the people of the smartphone world use iPhones.

Half in the USA. Globally Apple's market share is closer to 25%, and in China it's barely over 10%, so it makes perfect sense for chi-fi businesses to focus on USB-C over lightning.

I’m not saying they should make it lightning only. Just offer a choice for people who have iPhones - it can only help your market share. But downvote away… lol

Well they gotta start from somewhere.

Exactly. The Fiio KA1 which uses the same Dac as the moondrop dawn also is available as a lightning version for 10€ more
