I wonder what the conversation was an apple about losing all that additional revenue from the sale of lightning cables. I never believed lightning was anything more than a way for Apple to gouge the customers a little bit more.
- jmull 3y agoWhen Apple switched from the 30-pin connector to lightning, USB-C didn't exist. What you're suggesting just doesn't make sense.

- underseacables 3y agoLightning is a proprietary computer bus and power connector, created and designed by Apple Inc. It was introduced on September 12, 2012, in conjunction with the iPhone 5, to replace its predecessor, the 30-pin dock connector. And now that they are switching to USB-C, they are going to lose all that revenue.
