    FYI it was newer by 2 years. I don’t think anyone is complaining about the performance of lightning over USB C, its that people want things to be standardized like everything non-apple is. Apple could have contributed to the USB C research and made a better cable that’s available to everyone, like IBM with the original USB or Phillips with HDMI.

      iPhones for the lightning port in 2012 and I think the first usb c android was 2015ish

      My point is that 11 years later people act as if this lightning port was thrust upon them RATHER than getting usb c.

      They’ve been using the same connector for more than a decade now, that’s all.

      Your points about apple opting to go their own route is salient and stands and I agree whole heartedly.

      This, Apple is shitty for not advancing a standard. Can you imagine if every appliance came with some proprietary cable so you would be incentivized to stay with one brand to minimize hassle. We’d never stand for that, but for some reason we as consumers didn’t demand standardization in this realm. It’s a fast moving industry to be sure, but I don’t really see how that precludes standardization and that is evidenced by all the non Apple equipment that has settled on USB.
