Well, he must have been listening as the latest MacBook Pro has 4 USB-C ports and a headphone jack - nothing else.
At the moment, of course, only the power being USB-C is really useful since it can be plugged into any port on either side. Other things require dongles.
However, USB-C is an international standard (not Apple proprietary, nor Apple created and no-one else adopted) which is gaining much more traction in general - both in smart phones and Windows laptops.
Okay, so it is going to be a couple more years before USB-C replaces USB/HDMI/DisplayPort/MiniDisplayPort/... but at least it appears (at the moment) to be doing better than other attempts to redefine universal peripheral connection :)
