USB was around long before Apple stopped providing PS/2.

If you buy a phone or tablet from anyone that isn't Apple you will very likely get a USB port. If you buy Apple you will not. Trying to argue that Apple is somehow looking to the future by providing a serial bus years after it was the norm is hard to comprehend.

Apple never provided PS/2; their solution was the (proprietary?) Apple Desktop Bus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Desktop_Bus

You may be thinking of the licensed Mac clones of the mid-90s: some of them did include PS/2 ports.
