> An extra cable in a bag is not a real problem anyone really has. It is. It's another thing I need to keep in mind when packing up when I frequently travel, it's a liability when it gets lost or damaged because then I'll have to go looking around for a store which stocks Lightning cables, and it's an issue when I'm visiting someone and need to juice up, and he/she doesn't have the cable with them. If I do get a replacement, I have to make sure I'm not being ripped off because the high price of a Lightning charger makes it very appealing to fraudsters selling duplicate shit online or in stores. The old connector and USB-C are both ubiquitous enough that even if I end up somehow in a remote village, I'll find someone a walk or drive away with a reasonably working charger for sale.
