I'm still glad they are moving to usb-c but not going to clap my hands to Apple for that - but will clap EU for that. (will clap even more if EU with clab Apple with baseball bat with new battery repair law).
However if still someone consider buying this new iphone only for usb-c it's a good alternative to keep old phone and save money (since there was almost no innovation since iPhone X especially in non-pro models).
I’m glad it works for you but I personally am glad we’re trending towards usb-c, at least for the next couple of years, across most devices.
