My galaxy brain take is that I actually like Lightning as a standard more than USB-C but even I can see that's a loving losing battle to try and fight so I'll accept USB-C as a compromise.

Problem is they sell the new phones on these very high camera standards, but Lightning is limited to USB 2.0 transfer speeds. Like lmfao shooting ProRes video on your phone and then having to wait three days to transfer a 2 minute clip to your computer.

ya, its a losing battle, the standard needs a significant update but why would Apple bother when they're going to need to transition to USB-C at some point anyways. If they were more proactive at updating it I think there'd be a better argument there but that time has passed.

I still get sent routers that have a mini USB port on them for the console and nobody has those cables to hand any more because they don't need to charge a 2004 BlackBerry. I have more luck trying to hunt down serial cables.

The OP-1 uses mini USB and I loving hate that I literally have to have a mini USB cable sitting around just for one loving thing.

My mouse is Micro-USB and I just pray each day that it can loving die. internal batteries on small poo poo like that should be banned and we should all just go back to AAs, I don't know why the gently caress engineers thought building in an internal battery was a good idea.

Mini-USB, rollover cables, and RS-232 to USB adapters (FTDI chips only) will be around as long as people continue using 20 year old hardware in their networks. And new gear will be built with the same because the old gear had it.

It actually owns, it’s smaller and thinner and therefore takes less space in the phone and the future is just all magsafe poo poo anyway and 100% cordless so why make people buy new cables just to have no cables at all in another year or two? Like do you KNOW how many lightning cables I have???
