I like Lightning better, the edges of the connector and port are rounded off and plastic, unlike USB-C which is cornered and metal contacting metal. Look at the bottom of someone's Samsung phone, there's little scratches around the connector. USB-C has a tongue in the middle, which can and does get damaged, and makes it much harder to clean. Yeah, USB-C can go screw, not my favorite connector. Too bad Apple was lazy and only implemented USB 3.0 on the very first iPad Pro, and never bothered to again. I hope Apple makes an EU specific iPhone and leaves us alone in the US.

The US is implementing similar laws as any sensible company follows the EU regulations globally to keep costs and complexity down so it's a free-throw for the US politicians to claim credit for doing something that would happen anyway.

I know. At least its a lot more durable than micro ever was. I just hate connectors with tongues.

If you know it won't be legal to continue using Lightning in the US why did you say you hope they do?

Just voicing my displeasure, Apple has played chicken with the government before.

Y the downvotes? Can't a person have a opinion?

Yes, you can have his opinion. If enough people think it's shitty in the public forum, it gets marginalized. That's the way public debate and discourse has gone in the history of humankind. Think back to the steps of the Roman courthouse....

Civil discourse? Don't see much debate going on here.

That would be such a waste of money.

WTF are you talking about? My USB-C connector is all curves and no corners.

That person sounds incompetent.

That's actually the only reason Lightning is superior to USB-C. However, I never had an issue with the connector.
