It's certainly better than micro-USB, but agreed: Lightning is the superior design.
Who puts the weak point of the connector inside the more expensive of the two objects? That was a terrible design decision. Maybe Apple's patents prevented USB from doing a similar design, so they had to come up with one that was objectively slightly worse?
- kalleboo 4y agoLightning has the springs in the port, if the springs wear out you have to replace the device. USB-C has the springs in the cable, the cheap part to replace. Then USB-C went and added that "tongue" in the port to break. Neither standard is very good...
- gorbypark 4y agoI thought it was the other way around? All the springs and movey bits are in the male usb c connector. With Lightning, those bits are in the phone. I’ll agree Lightning has the nicer “feel”, that’s for sure.
