I'm not buying it. It's just a cable, and regular wear and tear (user error in Apple parlance) pretty-much dictates a lifetime far less than 10 years. The reason is profit, no more, no less.

Them: “Apple promised to ship their iPhones with lighting for at least 10 years”

You: “I don’t buy it, cables wouldn’t last 10 years”

It’s a non-sequitur.

As for profit motives, if that were the case then they wouldn’t voluntarily switch their iPad line over to USB-C.

This isn't a formal debate, I am allowed to have different reasoning from the rest of the group.

You’re allowed to say whatever you want and I’m allowed to point out that it makes no sense within the context of the discussion at hand.
