  • Lightning cables are actually backwards to what is desired:

    In USB standards the part that wears out (the spring pins) are on the cable, and thus easily replaced. In lightning the wear piece is in the expensive device, the cable has no moving parts. Beyond that, lightning has exposed pins, kind of a bad idea.

    Definitely better than micro B, but far inferior to USB C.
