Is this why Apple use USB-C on some of their iPads?

  That's a fantastic point actually. I wonder why they choose to use USB-C at all for any device, when Lightning is objectively better from a physical engineering standpoint.

    Apple has never managed to make a lightning device that can output 4k video or transfers data faster than USB 2.0. They are either incapable of improving the lightning connectors or couldn't be bothered.

    But worse from a data transfer standpoint - still USB 2.0 speeds. The cynic in me would think it's to force people to pay for iCloud storage instead of having to plug their phone into their computer for several hours to backup locally.
