It requires less accuracy to insert lightning - more forgiving to/self-correcting wrong angles. Easier to do it in complete darkness.
Comment on Apple Announces iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus With USB-C Port, Dynamic Island, Frosted Glass Design
jeffw@lemmy.world 1 year agoI’m confused by this comment. How is lightning better? I cannot think of a single advantage of lightning over USB-C. Is the c port like a few microns wider? That doesn’t seem like it would make it more difficult.
Everything uses C now. I have a lot of lightning cables, but I also have a lot of C cables.

USB-C is easy to do in complete darkness as well

I’ve had to replace 4 USB-C cables that have failed in the past year, and I’ve never replaced a lightning cable. Seriously, the cable from my iPhone 6 Plus has outlasted 4 company cars, and is currently pulling charge duty in number 5.
That’s about the only advantage for me though.
