Wait until you hear the same Apple fans who kept repeating the iPhone is better because of the lightning port suddenly praise Apple's genius to switch to USB-C.
I can't wait to see tweets from people claiming that Apple invented the USB-C port.
Ya know what's ironic actually? They were one of the companies that helped create that standard. They just couldn't be bothered to use it as long as they could make a buck filling up landfills with their proprietary bullshit.
As an iPhone user since the 3GS, I couldn't really give a shit which port my phone has, because I almost never actually use it. Data transfer is usually via iCloud or Airdrop, and charging is almost always on my MagSafe stand.
That said, it'll be nice for my next phone to be able to use the same USB-C adapters that I have for my MacBook for those odd occasions they're needed.
Yep. That's what they always do. I cannot wait for Tim Cook to be giddy about it on stage lol
The lightning port is literally the USB-C standard but with a bunch of features removed, a lower max voltage rate, and it's less safe. It's not going to blow up on you, but it is less safe then usb-c.
