I wouldn't mind a lighting port instead of the 3.5 mm jack on my mac. My last macbook, the 3.5mm jack was the one thing that failed, surprisingly. It had a tiny switch inside to go between optical and electrical, and that switch would get stuck in the optical position. Basically I couldn't use headphones half the time.

I imagine the audio industry would revolt if it was removed.

Imagine a world where they opened up the lightening spec originally, that that was the USB-C standard.
