Somewhat unpopular opinion: Lightning was by far the better connector.
Compared to what? Parallel? Maybe, if you don't need the structural rigidity. Banana plugs? Definitely. USB-C? Fuck no! But it is also older than USB-C, so that's fair.
Lightning is rounded and thus easier to insert. It doesn’t scratch the surface of whatever you‘re trying to plug it in to and on top of that it slightly clicks into place. Just by itself, the plug is superior yes.
No, if the clamp-mechanism breaks, you habe to replace the connector on the device while with UsbC you only have to use a different cable.
Careful, those rounded corners are patented
