This. People love to act like Lightning wasn’t head and toes above micro usb that was in all the Android phones. iPhone switched connectors ONCE in 16 fucking years and my parents still complain about how they had to buy new cables that one time after their iPhone 4 bought the farm. And that was close to a decade ago.

That said, they’re due for USB C transition and they’ve been moving there with all their other devices so it’s clearly happening (EU ruling helps, I’m sure)
