You can use Lightning cable with only Apple products. With a USB cable you can use it with your camera, power bank, phone, earbuds, toaster so on and so forth.

I’ve had a grand total of 2 USB cables, a USB A to micro USB for legacy devices and a USB A to USB C for every other recent device.
For my iPhone I needed to buy an extra USB A to lightning in addition to the one provided by Apple, because the cable they provided does not fit with any existing chargers (except with my laptop).
I agree Lightning port feels much sturdier than USB C, not sure if this is an inherent design flaw of USB C.
- dmitriid 5y agoI have a grand total of god knows how many cables, and I still don't know which one will fit a certain device. I don't use them that often or have that many devices, but having just a bank card reader and a power bank requires me to have two different USB cables (mini and micro).
- addicted 5y agoThe ultimate irony of course is that if I own a Samsung phone and a MacBook, I can travel with a single USB-C charger and charge both devices. It’s only if I need to pair my MacBook with an iPhone that I now need to different charging cables.
