USB-C was definitely happening in any case. Apple was among the first to standardize it on their laptops and desktops, they were just reluctant to move it to phones too soon after switching from 30 pin. When Apple announced lightning (before usb-c was ready) they said it would be the connector for the next 10 years to allay fears that they were just going to switch it again. The USB C switch happened 10 years later.
The other stuff I agree with.
