- squaredpants 8y agoIt's funny, I also prefer much more the lightning connector to the Type-C one, but Type-C is not under Apple's tight grip...
- SargeZT 8y agoSo what you're saying is that Apple's implementation of the USB-C connector is terrible? I don't see how that's a legitimate criticism of the standard.
- jordache 8y agoI suspect the hollow USB C male connector is more susceptible to this degradation. The lightning male connector is not hollow
- jayd16 8y agoYou're the second person in this thread to mention this problem on the MBP. I work with tons of phones with USB-C and my laptop charges with USB-C and I don't see this "degrade over time" issue the MBP seems to have.
- akvadrako 8y agoIt's really too bad Apple didn't turn lightning into a standard connector. It could serve the same purpose as USB-C alt-mode (3.1 / DP / HDMI / Thunderbolt) without the legacy USB 2 wires. Especially if they made it double-sided (16 pin) but kept the form-factor the same.
