- meepmorp 6y agoPeople already have lightning cables and stuff, and this product immediately works with that stuff. I realize that this might not be a compelling reason for you, but sometimes people use different criteria to yours when evaluating a product. Some of those people would think you silly for not considering them just because they have a connector you don’t like on both sides of the cable it comes with.
- teruakohatu 6y ago> would think you silly for not considering them Apple has never not dropped a port or adopted a new standard because they cared about user backwards capability. If they are sticking with lightening it is probably because they make good money on lightning cables and licensing.
- buzzerbetrayed 6y agoI’m not sure we have enough info to just assume Apple’s motive for using lightning. But I do find it interesting that you default to the less favorable of the two options presented as the “probable” one.
- darthrupert 6y agoAre there no technical justifications for using Lightning instead of USB-C on the connecting side?
