Lightning is/was actually pretty great. Also remember that it was introduced before USB-C even existed.

Yeah alternative was MicroUSB which is dogshit.

I’m using my wife’s old android for YouTube. It has a microusb port and I really hate it.

Lighting was leaps better than that, but usb-c is really the king of ports at the moment.

No hate, but I cannot fathom feeling the way you do about Micro USB and not spending $200 on some of the very solid Android phones that have come out in the 9 years since USB C has been the standard.

I only started using it like a month ago and I’m already looking at a used galaxy s10e. They are like $140 where I live. But I will get a new iPhone first.
