Yea, that’s what people have been trying to say for years, usb-c is just simply better. Good thing apple was finally forced to go to it and stop wasting the planet’s resources on the lightning cable
That sweet sweet certification fee kept them addicted to lightning.
Fwiw, sticking with Lightning for so long made all the sense in the world from a business perspective.
Why would they willingly let go all the money they received from the MFi fees?
To be fair, the output power of the phone has nothing to do with the plug (at least not the dimensions we are talking about here)
