    The world had subtlety agreed on a different standard (mico usb) when apple decided to do decide to switch to a proprietary one (lightning)

    Granted, micro Usb is shit, but switching to a proprietary standard is worse as you force everyone to have something different.

    Were lightning not proprietary, I could definitely see it overcomming micro usb everywhere

      Oh for sure. If lightning had been opened up to everyone I think we’d all be using it now
