So absolutely nothing to do with Mac at all. And you’re referencing a cable that hasn’t been used in literally over a decade and comparing it to a a cable that you’re using now? You do realize Android phones in 2010 used proprietary cables too, right?

I got my first android (Samsung Galaxy S3) in 2014, before I had a LG Rumor Touch. Both used micro USB.

I was turned off from Apple anything after having an iPod as a gift and discreetly hating it. I was further turned off when I saw that an iPad is just an elongated iPod Touch rather than a Microsoft Surface which is literally a PC.

So micro usb, the literal worst standardized usb connector in existence, is what you are claiming is better than an iPhone’s omnidirectional lighting connector.

And you know how I can tell you haven’t ever touched an iPad? 🤦‍♂️ “an elongated iPod touch” smdh.

An iPad is a fisher price toy for the price of a Surface. It's nothing. I used the ones in school and when I was an election day employee. They're scams

Mini is worse than micro, which is better than all the proprietary connectors it obsoleted

Lightning connector (2012) would be equal to USB-C (initially designed in 2012).

Micro USB would be equal to the 30 pin connector (and overlapping with mini USB.)

Lightning is still a problem on devices more than about 1.5 years old (everything "smart" that I own) and I've never had an Android phone that didn't use USB, though some had additional proprietary connectors for a dock.
