Lightning only ever managed to coast by because of its slim form-factor and because Apple mandated its use. It's capable of USB2.0 at most (480Mbps), whereas USB-C can do 20Gbps today and 40Gbps when using Thunderbolt.
MagSafe on phones is a total joke, and MagSafe on laptops exists _alongside_ USB-C charging.
- paulmd 4y ago> It's capable of USB2.0 at most (480Mbps), the lightning connector itself is capable of USB 3.0 speeds, apple just keeps the iphone line (or the cables?) at usb 2.0 spec. The ipad pro can reach full speed. https://apple.fandom.com/wiki/Lightning_to_USB_3_Camera_Adapter https://apple.fandom.com/wiki/Lightning_to_USB_3_Camera_Adap...
- dzhiurgis 4y agoI don’t get how they justify those speeds, especially without good wireless experience (not icloud and not airdrop)
- dzhiurgis 4y agoMagSafe (aka wireless one) is okay(tho half the speed) if you ain’t got carplay. For mac magsafe used to break every year where braided usb-c cable lasted me 3 years.
