My view is a bit more pessimistic. I don't think Apple implements Lightning support. I think that his recent tweets is more about adopting a Bitcoin standard, flipping off anyone that doesn't have a Bitcoin strategy or doesn't think Bitcoin is important. "Think different" as in don't get stuck in a fiat world, think outside of the box (Bitcoin), etc.

Apple implementing and thus acknowledge Bitcoin would obviously be huge as that would make it easier to onboard a whole lot of people but I simply don't think that happens this year.
