Intel pushes USB-C as 3.5mm jack replacement, touts better sound, thinness & power management
USB-C was three years late. Apple needed a better connector in 2012. And now, as other posters have commented, people don't want to upend their investment in Lightning accessories.mazda 3s said:If USB-C is the future, and Apple definitely thinks so given the adoption of the standard on the MacBook, why doesn't Apple just go all in and put USB-C on the iPhones going forward? You'd have a universal standard and you could use just about any USB-C cable between ALL of your Apple devices.
Better yet, what's the advantage of Lighting over USB-C anyway? Aren't they pretty much at feature/speed parity?
