Proprietary, and for the first half of its run, they were insanely expensive. Thin flimsy, always breaking. Short by default. They got nasty and stained quickly. Over the years, third party cheap ones were risky. May damage port or device. Has a stupid chip in the connector so people can't easily replicate it like a USB cable. It was the purest example of proprietary capture in an age where the "The correct universal port" has been around for decades. The massive irony is not missed on me as they used USB mouses and keyboards to engineer a step backwards. There's things I like about Apple, but I could never bring myself to defend the lightning cable. |
