I've worked with thousands of both types of cable at this point > Lightning is easier to plug in. according to you? neither are at all difficult > Lightning is a physically smaller connector. I've had lightning cables physically disassemble in the port, the size also made them somewhat delicate > USB-C is a much more mechanically complex port. much is a bit well, much... they're both incredibly simple mechanically — the exposed contacts made lightning more prone to damage I've had multiple Apple devices fail because of port wear on the device. Haven't encountered this yet with usb-c > The same logic applies to Apple forced to switch to USB, except that the costs are now multiplied. Apple would have updated inevitably, as they did in the past — now at least they're on a standard... the long-term waste reduction is very likely worth the switch (because again, without the standard they'd have likely switched to another proprietary implementation)
