Reply to comment by [deleted] in USB-C by WearFirst1267

Right but what difference will it make for average consumers?

For an example: Say IPhone 15 comes with USB-C and ‘Bob’ plugs his cable into the USB port. What difference will ‘Bob’ notice when plugging it vs the lighting port?

2 ways. 1: the most obvious, it's one less cord you have to carry with you.

2: USB-C offers higher transfer speeds vs lightning. If you transfer a lot between your device and mac, you will notice the difference immediately. But that's playing devil's advocate, USB-C is an inferior engineering design, so, this is still going backwards, for Apple.

You still haven’t explained what the difference would be when ‘Bob’ plugs in his USB compared to when he plugs in his lighting cable.

“Otg cables and docks, video out etc”, like I said already, won’t cross 95% of user’s mind.

As a bob, if the next iPhone i get has USB C, it will be a different cable combattere to my iPad and airpods. Not much simplicity there😅
