Oh yeah, I agree with you there. I do have a few Lightning cables that have died, but I treat them as consumables anyway. I know it supports some form of USB3, but the display out is handled by having a h264 decoding dongle (!). It unfortunately doesn't have enough pins to really support the range of alternate modes and high data speeds of USB3.
