so if Apple comes up with a better interface that might have a BOM of $1 instead of 20 cents, I as an Apple user will be held back because the Android OEM that is selling $50 unsubsidized phones doesn’t want it?

Yes, and? The usb forum knew at the time that they needed a replacement for micro USB, even if they were being slow about it.

Do you think it is likely now, based on the current state of connectors?
