USB-C can't do charging and earphone?? Kek.

There is absolutely no innovation using lightning on phones. The only advantage of lightning is to use on laptop for external.GPU. But external GPUs are rarer than a Nokia 3310. Which basically renders it's only advantage pointless.

But I think USB c is cheaper as they are more mass produced. If spoilt, you just buy a new cable

Yup Lighting cable = USB C all along....jeng jeng jeng

To Apple, Lightning’s main usage is charging and earphone, thus they don’t need to push for Type-C. Now that they’re pressured by EU, I can foresee they rather do away with the charging port all together and do everything purely wireless (like I said, Lightning’s earphone and charging usages can be replaced by wireless alternative).

And you had mistaken Lightning with Thunderbolt.

What if it’s the female port which is damaged?

Like I said, female Lightning is very resilient, meanwhile some female USB-C can get damaged quite easily.

Oh yes, sorry. That this thunderbolt. My mistake. WTF. Sarahan Thor Prince of Lightning/Thunder!

Which means Lightning is absolutely useless. And apple is only using feable excuse to plotek when USB-C is so much better.

apple themselves proved that usb-c is superior by including it in all their all prosumer devices

but somehow decided to cripple their phones line because it "stifles innovation"

who's gonna believe that bullshit

After standardize the port, next standardize the Phone OS.... ?

Like I say, it's cheaper to replace even if the female port is damaged.

Why do you say lightning port is not so easy damaged?

If it's so bad, why Apple uses USB C for their other devices except iPhones?

people use iphone because of the OS
but not because of the cable
by not including it in the box due to environmentally friendly issue but don't want to standardize it with the whole world...that's an issue on it's own

Honestly...I haven't break any ports other than ancient PCs serial COM port with male pins sticking out. Unless you are some Hulkzilla, it's impossiburubto break ports under normal usage.

Ifags

Apple kearah kuasa besar portless device

Longlive magsafe

I used to think like you, till I realise not everyone is as careful as me when using their devices.

Nope, most female ports are not cheap, especially some which directly soldered onto the mobo.

EU lawmaker thought they've won

Apple meanwhile mass produced iConverter priced at USD19.90 each, mandatory accessory in EU for every iPhone purchase.

Now EU citizen need to pay 19.90 extra for every iPhone purchase

Exactly. Even to old USB non C types, I can still use for some older devices.

The only time my USB C port spoilt was when I accidently drop a powerbank.

However, you can easily replace the cable with a new one.

If you are Hulkzilla, lightning port is equally breakable. So no advantage.

The male might die, but the female is resilient.

And you have evidence lightning female port better than usb-c in breakable limits?
