Not really. Lightning was better than micro USB-B connector, which was Lightning’s contemporary.

- r00fus 2y agoLightning was the first decent phone connector. USB-C learned good lessons from it.

- wao0uuno 2y agoUSB-C is still mechanically inferior. Lightning feels better to use and lasts longer. It always clicks, it’s always snug, it lasts forever. I wish Apple wasn’t so greedy and made it an open standard. Maybe now we would have better connectors on all of our devices.
- mcphage 2y agoEh, having had a lightning connector snap off inside my phone, I don’t mind moving away from it.
- acomjean 2y agoIt’s wasteful because it contains a chip to verify the cable’s fee was payed to Apple. They’re small but there are a lot of them and they are uneccessary and annoying when they fail and you can’t charge your device.
