Finally somebody writing a realistic post about the USB-C port situation! So much short sighted whining when this really is a great step forward.

Probably because OP has an Android phone.

I'd honestly love to use my laptop's Ethernet dongle with my iPad or iPhone, but that won't happen. Apple has just recently doubled down on Lightning with the Apple TV Remote, the iPhone 7 headphones and the new Magic Trackpad/Mouse/Keyboard trio. For iPad accessories, they've even introduced the all-new Smart Connector instead of a USB-C port on the side of the iPad.

A USB-C port would not fit on the side of the iPad. So, not really an option.
