They didn't force apple to replace lighting to USB-C everywhere. Just Europe. If Apple decided to replace it everywhere is because it's obviously superior.

While you may have a point about the durability, i do not think you know/understand the meaning of all the words you used.

you may have a usb c connector, but there's no way to know what protocol or current it supports.

True. Thats is pretty annoying. Maybe they should color code them like USB-3 having the blue?

I like this idea. or feature labeling e.g. "5v" , "PD" , "USB-DATA". "USB3.1" along with wire gauge.

I conceed you that point. It's gonna be annoying for a while.

thanks it’s nice that i can change some minds. I wish usb c were more consumer friendly.

Somebody forces you to buy this phone?

they forced apple to replace a good connector with a worse one

Ahh yes, let's blame "Socialists" for this one..

It's the kind of thing most people would be delighted to blamed for.

haha what?

>Thank European socialists for imposing a worse product on everyone.
