Not to mention that for the user, Lightning was a much superior plug.
Small, very little chance to break or short a pin, and the fact that it had rounded corners meant it was always easy to get it into the slot.
The various USB connectors always give me grief at the time of plugging in. Some are worse than others (micro and mini are by far the worst of the bunch), some are ok though not great (C is ok IMO).
- smoldesu 3y agoLightning just didn't have much to show for being an alternative to USB. It was license-encumbered, DRM-ridden and slow as all hell up until the very end. It was a good connector when it's alternative was Micro USB, but a baffling choice for my Magic Trackpad 2 from 2015. By now I feel like Apple realized that making USB-C iPhone-ready was easier than making the iPhone connector a serious alternative.
