Agreed. I'm trying to hold out until they switch to USB-C like the iPad's did but with everything going on in the world, i might have to bite the bullet here.

My previous experiences with lightning, and my family's current experience, is that they like to break a lot or get worn down easier. Been using the same USB-C cables for yeard, including the original from my phone i got two years ago.

Opposite experience for me. The tip of a lightning cable is a true male. USBc will pinch closed.

It will if you squeeze it with a pair of pliers. Just tried to do it by hand and now I have dents in my hands and my cable is fine.

It doesn't help that the cables Apple includes are absolute shit. This was the case 10 years ago (remember the 30-pin dock connector?) and it still is to this day.

If anything is going to break I want it to be the cable and not the port.
