They shouldn't have made it proprietary. Lightning could've been the USB-C instead of what we got.

You do realize that Apple designed the connector for USB-C and donated it to the consortium.

So why not do that with Lightning too? It's still proprietary to this day.

Well blame the consortium members that rejected it over Micro USB!

Switch to usb-c just like they did with ipads? And laptops?

There was no USB-C in 2012.

Yes, but now it's 2023, 11 years seems enough to switch from an old usb2.0 port
