ThisI have been using lightning for years and never had a problem. I like USB c but the central tongue is a terrible fragile design. Absolutely hate it and was completely unnecessary.
The plug is reliable, holds in place like no other and it’s satisfaction to plug it in. It is beautiful to look at it and easy to clean it. Not like the bloody USB-C. Lightning port should have been used as the USB-C standardHow are people saying lightning cable is not reliable. I have never had an issue with charging.
Yea I did sorry about that, have a nice dayPerhaps you missed the /s tag? ?
Is it worse then the mini/micro USB connectors ( which incidentally, at least for micro usb) put too much strain on the device side connector wich made the connector actually duslidge from the mb on the device? Remember USB-C was newly designed as a replacement for micro USB, that it now ( because EU regs) also replaces lightning is more incidentalI don’t want USB-C plug on a device that I have to charge everyday. The physical plug of USB-C is one of the worst USB connector ever created. The only good thing about it that it is reversable. Keep Lightning, just make it faster. In fact, make every Apple device only use (a faster) Lightning port… Yes… Macbooks too…

Just play along.. when all is said and done, Kuo will be revealed to be Cook, but you didn't hear that from me..We first heard about it from the EU's legislation, not Kuo. Stop trying to make this guy into something he's not.
But it is. Because companies love to get proprietary stuff out there that locks customers into their ecosystem.This should have happened years ago. And it should happen because USB-C is fundamentally better than lightning — more reliable, faster charging, interoperable. It shouldn’t require, or be based upon, government regulation to get this done.
iPad Pro 2021 - USB-C
iPhone 2022 - Lighting
are they smoking crack or what?
I charge my iPad Pro every day with USB-C since 2018. The plug and the connector feel like new. I use my 2019 MBP Pro USB cable and carger to do this.I don’t want USB-C plug on a device that I have to charge everyday. The physical plug of USB-C is one of the worst USB connector ever created.

This is what the EU regulation tells you:??But airpods will still have lightning cause Apple loves fragmentation now.
Lightning is a bad port. It's unreliable. There is no reason for it to exist.
I understand that those are two slightly different issues (Apple’s cord covering vs USB-C connectors) BUT if durability were the concern, wouldn’t Apple have released a more durable cable of their own?
Never need one for my use. My only lightning connector-based device is my iPad, and I never use it in the car, so...So you didn’t have a usbc to lightning cable in your car?
