    Does anyone have any industry data on comparative failure rates between the lightning port and USB-C?

    Anecdotally, I have had multiple failures of USB-C female sockets and male plugs, even with high quality products. I have not seen a lightning port fail among my friends. The lightning connector physical design appears far more robust and reliable to me personally (fewer pins, not as fragile).

    Keeping the lightning cable is a massive fail.
