Finally the EU is telling Apple off.
The lightning port sucks compared to Type C. Apple kept for the Lightning port due to MFI licenses they sell to accessories makers for huge profits. If using Type C, they lose the accessories market. |

QUOTE(msacras @ Apr 26 2022, 08:24 AM) Actually, physically Lightning port is more resilient (especially female) and smaller. Type C need to buy quality cables and not those from RM 2 shops. Buy those with a proper resistor inside like Ugreen, Baseus and other branded ones. Type-C on the other hand some very tight some very loose. And the female connector can get damaged or stressed if you insert the male cable off-angle.  Those problems u described were mostly due to bad quality cables. Lightning also has bad quality cables sold at RM 2 shops. |

Some very loose while some barely able to fit in (I even plugged some that’s so damn tight to the point the cable rather broke than get disconnected). Lightning only sold by Apple under MFI license. Other manufacturers cannot even buy the mold or circuitry without paying Apple. Enterprising people will clone the connectors leading to loose connection or broken pins after several months of use.Meanwhile Lightning’s fitness are mostly standardised as they all using Apple provided connectors or same mold. |

QUOTE(nasiputih @ Apr 26 2022, 11:22 AM) wha is the effect of low quality cables? will it spoil the phone? If just regular 5V or 9V, no problems. If let's say u were charging the laptop at 20V using a cheap cable and later used the same charger and cable to charge a phone, the voltage may maintain at 20V, killing the phone. |
