Or lightning was available first before usbc, and apple went with that and just has been stubborn to change.
Looks like lightning in 2012 and usbc in 2014.
Apple helped develop USB-C too as they are members of the consortium. No (non-self-serving) reason why they couldn't have delayed the swap an additional year or two back then.
