    Personally, I like the iPhone charging port better as there’s less that can go wrong with it, but USB-C is pretty good too.

    I like that I don’t have to orient the cable plug-ins just right. I can flip it over and still plug it in just fine. That’s why I don’t like mini USB, micro USB, or USB-A

      Yeah Lightning was really nice. I was surprised how much I liked it after switching from Android to iOS. If only it weren’t proprietary and had too few pins to be very useful outside of charging.

      I still hated that my phone didn’t use USB-C though, since everything else I own does. Glad the new iPhones do.

      Lighting’s port is fantastic for its positive fit and finish but USB-C is pretty close as long you don’t get super cheap cables and gear, then they just break after a bit. You get what you pay for.
