It's been the standard connector for mobile Apple devices since the iPhone 5. Nothing new about it.

Disregard me, I just get confused with all the different proprietary Apple peripherals. Thunderbolt was the same port as with mini-displayport. Firewire was IEEE 1394. Now I guess I know about Lightning, too.

I look forward to the day when we can all use the same standards.

Thunderbolt isn't Apple proprietary either. Thats designed by intel, and Thunderbolt 3 even works with USB-C
