Apple may have to abandon Lightning connector cable

1. Shakedown
2. Uniformity of connectors is the first step to making it cheaper for LE to snatch you on whatever and plug in

Whoever made the change to that type of connector needs to place both hands on a table, make two fist then have a mf with a sledge hammer crush his fukking fingers.

As mentioned in the article, this made sense back when there were 30 different connectors. Now that there’s just 3, I don’t see the point of this.

objectively speaking, there are advantages to the lightning connector, namely the ease of insertion. Those micro usb connectors are orientation specific which can be annoying.

Bruh. USB C. Get with the times. Lol. It’s just as easy as lightning.

 

[spliz]

yes but not USB-C which slowly seems to be becoming the standard...I believe even the latest iphones have USB-C ports

USB C is the standard. And no. The newest iPhones still use lightning. Hence the article. The IPad Pro’s and MacBook Pro’s use USB C tho.

He’s right. I got a Galaxy Fold, which is the only non-Lightning device I use, and every time I charge it I have to be extra careful not to put it in at an awkward angle or too hard, so as to not break the connector inside. That “MFi” certification Apple gives third party Lightning connectors is specifically to maintain a high standard of peripherals. And yes, it’s much easier to insert than USB C (pause, of course)

USB C cables on average are far more durable than lightning and it’s not even close. They are also FASTER.

 

[spliz]

To what, ergonomics? Or lightning vs micro usb?

Who the hell still uses micro usb bro? Lol. nikkas walkin around with Galaxy S7’s around here? Lol

People in here caping for Apple is something

Wireless charging isn’t the future until that shift works like WiFi. As in I can be in the vicinity of a wireless charger and my shot will just charge. Not having to put on a charging pad.
