Lightning is a joke and nothing more than a cable tax in 2023. So stupid I have to carry an extra charging cable to charge two of the 3 devices I’m carrying just because Apple wants to make sure I can only buy cables from them.

On the countrary I'm thankful I don't have to deal with the unforgivable mess that is USB-C more than absolutely necessary.

  Because your transfer speeds are bottlenecked at USB 2.0 instead of Thunderbolt?

    To my point, not all USB-C cables can transfer data at all.

I've got a usb c to {all the things} kit like this[1] that I keep in my cable bag. Not needing lightning at all would be better but it works in a pinch.

  I stopped bothering with 3rd party lighting because it seems like Apple keeps finding ways to detect it and make the experience janky when its not an official cable.
