You can get an adapter to charge an iPhone with USB, too.
No, the real reason is so Apple can charge you $20 for a USB cable. Meanwhile you can buy them for Android as cheap as $5.

It's same reason they are doing away with this jack. They can then charge you $20 for a adapter that plugs into the Apple mini connector.

Everything about apple = rip ff dumb people.
