    Everyone raves about usb-c but despite my hating everything Apple, the lightning port’s physical design is so much better.

    Who thought putting a thin circuit board projection inside the port was a good idea?

        That’s the signal interface like the number of pins and active termination circuitry.

        Physically there’s no reason for USB c to have a male nub inside a larger female jack and the reverse for the male end. It makes it more fragile and harder to keep clean.
