No, it is absolutely not. The lightning physical port is noticeably superior for many.
> Find me a connector that does everything USB-C can do. High speeds. High power charging. Alt modes. Mobile friendly size.
That is not a function of the connector, that is a function of USB 3.0 (or 4.0) and USB-PD. The connector is a USB Type-C connector, which is a related but wholly independent standard. You are mistaking the USB protocol and USB power delivery standards for the design of one particular connector which supports those standards.
- memen 3y agoDo you know of another mobile-friendly connector that supports those standards? Lightning certainly does not. Even if USB2.0 was the highest supported standard on the USB-C, it is on par with lightning at least.
- Steltek 3y agoThen can you share a device or cable that uses a Lightning connector and supports the USB 3.0 and USB-PD protocols? Who in their right minds would standardize on something that doesn't exist?
- stouset 3y agoThis is irrelevant. You said > This [USB-C] is unquestionably the best physical port. It is not. USB 3.0 is unquestionably better than the USB 2.0 supported by Lightning devices, and you’ll get no argument from me there. But that is completely independent of the design of the physical port.
- jasongill 3y agoOlder iPad Pro's support USB 3.0 over their Lightning port but that's a very niche case obviously.
