usb-c is female b/c ostensibly u want the weak point with moving parts to be replaceable turns out the usb-c female port is a fuzzmagnet lightning is a more durable design but u just know if they opened it up the cheap rear end chinese female plug knockoffs would be flimsy a.f. I also dont think it has enough pins for alt-mode usb-c stuff so who knows

Malcolm XML posted:usb-c is female b/c ostensibly u want the weak point with moving parts to be replaceable Also it is good practice for the connector that provides power to be female. Harder to accidentally short power pins together that way. I haven’t heard of that being a problem for lightning, but I would imagine it’s easier to short a power pin to ground on lightning than it is to do so on usbc.

Malcolm XML posted:usb-c is female b/c ostensibly u want the weak point with moving parts to be replaceable design wise lightning is superior to virtually all other connectors because male means male etc.. like usb c male is some kind of weird urethra docking situation because a flimsy connector bit in the female has to go into the middle of the male bit yes this means the connectors “exposed” on lightning but this is is solved by handshaking handled by the controllers, which is far superior to adding a flimsy and hard to clean thing like usbc lightning has 8 connector bits on each side. I suppose due to its both-ways nature that one side is redundant, but that’s still plenty

when lightning was announced there was tons of theorizing about them maybe using dynamic pin mapping etc but yeh it ended up being plain symmetry of the same conductors

Notorious b.s.d. posted:lightning is usb 3.0; usb-c is usb 3.0 very few lightning devices are usb 3, only the lightning ipads pro, a camera adapter, and i think the lightning to usb-c cable do usb 3 the thirstiest lightning device pulls 30w at 5v, the thirstiest usb-c devices pull 100w at 20v, usb-c is bigger than lightning to the point that the apple pencil would have to be bigger or have a hosed up shape to fit one, and the remote is only 6mm thick so an extra mm of connector is actually significant the only mistakes are you're posts

echinopsis posted:yeah aren’t you meant to be a galaxy brain computer nerd my eyes are not very good, and it looked fine to me. i assumed the connector had come loose from the pcb or something. you know, an ordinary strain problem after two years of daily connections and disconnections. also it took a person with much sharper eyes and a jeweler's loupe to clean it properly, so i guess i wasn't totally off-base

apple should have made a new, third cable type incompatible with either of the others. that would have been a truly courageous decision.
