I don't understand your issue with USB C. Mini and micro USB connectors routinely got loose and fell out of multiple devices I owned, USB C is everywhere now and I have not encountered such issues.

The only issue I had with USB C has been lint collecting at the bottom of the port that would then prevent the cable from plugging in far enough for a good connection. Far easier to clean that than replacing the connector though.

The Lighnting connector and its port are superior in every way.

Physically, maybe. (I don't know.) Legally and economically, I don't think Samsung can just use lightning without having to pay Apple.

Without the EU mandate, perhaps I would still have a Lightning port in my instead of the currently broken USB-C port.

I never had a Lightning port fail.

Good on you!

I just wish that all of them would be legal, and consumer like you be allowed to pick what they like best.

That's the one where the springs are on the device instead of the cable yea?

how so? I genuinely don't understand, as someone who has a phone with the lightning connector and other devices with USB C
