    Yeah, but at least you’re not sol when you’re at an apple house with an android device at 10% battery any more. If you need a cable with very specific capabilities that’s on you to do that research imo. The alternative is making every cable more expensive when most people don’t need it.

      I’m looking forwards to when my in-laws upgrade their phones and no longer get to use their “superior” lightning ports

        i hate apple with a burning passion but at least their cable lasted more then 3 years without wearing the port down to where you need to angle the connector with force or it doesnt charge

          I’ll be honest, in a vacuum and as a charging cable, lightning is kinda okay and the durability is pretty good. But I much prefer USB C any day
