USB Type C Support

Apple was forced to comply with the EU regulations to support the industry wide USB Type C support for charging & data transfer, even though Apple showcased this has a beneficial move. Owing to adapting to USB 3 standards means data transfer speed will be faster. Also this gives room to users to use any existing USB cables if they are having to charge the device rather than buying the costly Apple chargers.
