Pushed the industry towards USB before inevitably abandoning it for their proprietary lightning charger.

You do realize lightning was conceptualized AFTER his death?

Not only that, but the industry standard at the time was Micro USB. So either a really good, reversible charger for the time, or a piece of shit cable that dies after 4 months. Take your pick.
