It’s really frustrating how stubborn and backward Apple has been with the iPhone. It’s 100% just so they can use a proprietary cable.
The crazy thing is they were on the consortium that helped develop USB-C and had one of the very first computers to even have the port! MacBook Pros were ALL USB-C at a time when there were close to zero accessory makers supporting the then brand new cable.
Anyway, extremely happy that lightning will finally die.
Am I one of the few who is not a big fan of USB C on phones? I’ve had the ports on multiple phones go bad. They get filled with pocket crud and are extremely difficult to clean out. Never had this issue with lightning. Wish there was some sort of magnetic charging standard. Wireless is good but its just slow.
I have had dozens of devices with USB C and have personally have never had this issue. On the other hand, I used to work at an Apple repair shop and have seen plenty lightning ports filled with lint.
