I think we can consider that an implementation detail and that fragile connectors are not mandated or inherent to the specification. There are a lot of ways to skin the cat even within the constraints given.
Your concern is totally valid, but that it’s more about design/manufacturing quality rather than lightning versus USB.
- chrisseaton 8y agoDo you not think it's possible that the specification makes it hard to make a connector that is robust?
- WhitneyLand 8y agoOf course, yes. But making it hard doesn’t prevent it from being done robustly, practicality speaking “hard” usually means they’ve made the mistake of increasing costs. As expensive as realizable lightning cables are I’m not sure how big of a factor the extra cost / effort for someone like anker to contract a high quality cable would really matter in the decision process of one vs. the other.
