Remember the grumblings that came along with Apple's introduction of the Lightning port with the iPhone 5, bidding adieu to the larger 30-pin port? That was just five years ago. And it was just six months ago that Apple seemed to double-down on Lightning, leaving it as the only port on the phone.。

That's a lot of dongles and, more importantly, a lot of money.。
