Why Doesn’t Anybody Use a Lightning Connector Other Than Apple?

February 12, 2019

Good question. My guess is that Apple doesn’t want to do anything that even resembles an industry standard. That would potentially allow someone else to do it better. Shocker, but reports are that Apple will continue to utilize the lightning connector for the next round of iPhone models instead of implementing the industry standard USB-C connector. The good news for current iPhone users is that your lightning cables can live a little longer. The bad news is that they can only be used with an iPhone.
