China is like 88% Android, Apple's share of the mpbile business there is quite small, so it's perfectly understandable they'd go the USB-C route. Add to that the fact that Apple will soon either have to also switch to USB-C or completely abandon a wired charger completely in Europe, and it's really not even a choice anymore.

Yes this is a questionable choice. Sure MFI might add a bit more to the cost, but literally half the people of the smartphone world use iPhones.

Half in the USA. Globally Apple's market share is closer to 25%, and in China it's barely over 10%, so it makes perfect sense for chi-fi businesses to focus on USB-C over lightning.

I’m not saying they should make it lightning only. Just offer a choice for people who have iPhones - it can only help your market share. But downvote away… lol

Exactly. The Fiio KA1 which uses the same Dac as the moondrop dawn also is available as a lightning version for 10€ more
