Haha the apple subreddit has so many people who defend lightning. It’s such a toxic subreddit.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I've never seen it. All the Apple-focused blogs/podcasts I consume are unanimously in favor of USB-C.
Lightning has some advantages over USB-C. No thin plastic lip that can break. No thin slot that can accumulate dirt. If a Lightning socket is dirty, you can pick it out with a toothpick and it’s good as new. No chance on USB-C.
However, I do like only needing one type of cable and the higher speeds of USB-C.
The one type of cable is a big plus for me. Laying in bed at night, or working in the kitchen I can just rotate the cable as needed.
My wife’s nest of cables can be reduced to just one cable. Im just hoping they don’t have a huge price increase on the 15.
