I have like 3 lightning cables, apple deprecating lightning would account to me throwing these cables away and buying usb-c. I suppose other apple users would have to do the same. Not to mention other lightning accessories, headphones and such. Lightning is still included on airpods (pro and max).
Furthermore, usb-c is younger than lightning. And lightning was arguably superior to previous usbs (more durable).
So while unification sounds nice, net gain would be actually close to nothing, it would be a change for the sake of change, and would probably annoy as much people as it would please.
- InsomniacL 5y ago> I have like 3 lightning cables, apple deprecating lightning would account to me throwing these cables away I'm sure that's the same argument every phone manufacture made before the EU legislated it and Apple found their loophole. An adapter to fit on the end of the lightening could alleviate that problem until people have switched.

- shrikant 5y agoKeep the cables, and buy Lightning-to-USB-C dongles that will inevitably show up in the market?
- Shadonototra 5y agopeople always look for short term gains while completely ignoring the long term benefits go look for phone charger waste and why it is important to stop having 4685486468478 different type of chargers, people are very selfish in this thread
- tengbretson 5y agoThe phone you already have would continue to have a lightning port, so I'm not sure what the issue here is.
