Apple provides a Micro USB adapter in Europe which they have to do by law, so it's not quite the same as backing USB. Of course Apple isn't exactly known to support industry standards, just consider Firewire and Thunderbolt not to mention Micro SIM and now Nano SIM. In any case, I personally think Micro USB is a big pain in the neck, I know a lot of sighted people who even have to look twice before they have the thing facing the right way and I think having a small reverseable connector is just fine. Given the popularity of Apple devices and the huge offering of cables, docks etc. whatever they do is almost a standard by itself and if it's simpler and maybe more durable than a micro USB connector then why not. After all, if you want micro USB just get an adapter. I heard that there is maybe even in in-version change for the new iPad and that it will have the new small connector.
