    It is reversible and consistent

    consistent in what?

    Consistent in frying pins and fraying cables.

    I worked cellular retail for 8 years I’ve never really seen fried pins on iPhones. The frayed cables are pretty much inevitable especially if it is apples first party cables. Shockingly I have had contamination in usbc ports though. It caused several devices of mine to no longer charge due to corrosion. Still not sure what exactly caused it but I suppose it was juice from a vape that leaked into the connector. Basically fried my laptop c ports, my iPads port and my pixel’s port. I still think the move to c was pretty necessary.

    Only complaint is cables that have contaminants can easily travel between devices now.

    Other than that the protocol support is all over the place.

    Everyone I know who uses an iPhone has had fried pins on the cable, not necessarily on their device. No one I know personally has had any issues with USB-C.

    Though both experiences are anecdotal, I think we can take this away from our conversation at least: no cable design is perfect. Lol!

    Lightning's data transfer and charging are subpar, although I'm not sure if Apple is implementing PD fast charging on the new iPhone either.

    They are not, unless you get the pro as far as I have seen/heard. The regular iPhone is artificially limited to USB 2.0 speeds.

    The Pro still doesn't have PD charging.

    When they go portless (I'm guessing next year or 2) they don't want people bitching that the charging is slower, so they're not going to support wired charging that's faster than wireless.
