If Lightning was superior, the new iPad Mini and new (and previous) iPad Pros wouldn't be using USB-C rather than Lightning.

- mrsuprawsm 5y agoI think that the idea of the USB-C port on the iPads is to connect external devices. These are more likely to have a USB-C <-> something (e.g. USB-C -> USB-[micro|C|A]) cable that people already have lying around, as opposed to lightning -> something cable.
- ThatPlayer 5y agoFrom the perspective of Apple though, that's another adapter for them to sell. They already make a lightning -> USB-A adapter. And the idea of a common, readily available for most people, port is exactly what this legislation is about. It should apply to charging cables for phones too.
