What is the point of this? I'm not questioning the engineering part. This guy is amazing. I just don't understand the issue with iPhones' lightning port. Is there a shortage of lightning cables in the world?
- rf15 1y agoSaving up on actual cables you carry around - you always have that one extra iphone cable, while everyone else is on USB-C for years now.
- pimterry 1y agoIt's just _ridiculously_ useful having every single device you own work with the same charger. It's not the end of the world, but not even having to think about chargers has been a gamechanger.
- diggan 1y ago> What is the point of this? Probably for people like me, where the only Apple hardware I own and use is a iPhone 12 Mini, almost everything else is USB-C or the previous USB iterations. It'd be great if I can use the same cables I use for everything else with my phone too.
- WhyNotHugo 1y agoMy current lightning cable is breaking apart and I'll need to buy another at some point. I have dozens of USB-C cables at home. Having to carry one able less while travelling is also nice. Currently I carry a USB-C cable for headphones, would be nice to re-use that for the phone too.
- bapak 1y agoI love unplugging the charger from my computer and charging my phone in a swift, 3-seconds motion. Likewise, I hate that USB-A is still everywhere and I cannot use it without carrying yet one more cable. Sometimes I have it, sometimes I don't.
