Everything Wrong With Lightning Cables | Untangled

Apple has used the Lightning connector for seven years. It used to be on everything but now it's only found on two types of devices. iPhones like the iPhone XS and iPhone XR, and lower-end iPads like the iPad Air. The lightning cable Apple includes with the iPhone XS doesn't support fast charging and transfers data at USB 2.0 speeds.

In order to get fast charging you need to buy the 30w USB-C power adapter. Apple uses USB-C on the iPad Pro and the MacBook Pro. Switching the iPhone to USB-C would unify Apple's products. But it doesn't look like that will happen any time soon.

Everything Wrong With Lightning Cables | Untangled

[benhuang]

Ironic that *thunder* is now faster than *lightning.*

[Wavezzzz]

Everyone gangsta until the lightning cable starts wearing a turtleneck

[CanadianDan]

That fold in the cord...


The bane of my existence.

[dillonjohnson]

UPDATE: it’s 2020 and iPhone 12 has lighting. Wtf!

[justanotherperson]

Who even charges their phones anymore just buy a new one, wheneverr it dies

[doug]

They spent the whole video actually explaining EXACTLY why Apple is keeping the lighting connector for their most popular product. Answer = $$$

[theguy]

When that fold appears, you know is just the beginning of the end

[NDX]

Apple hears us. They just choose not to listen.

Everything wrong with Apple's lightning cable: It isn't USB-C

[TheGreatCooLite]

*Apple:* We want people to use USB C, so our new MacBooks will only have USB C ports
*Also Apple:* We are the only big phone company that makes phones that don't charge with USB C

[Techiejt]

“Lightning chargers are included with the phone” yea.. about that...

[trevonduncombe]

Update: iPhone 11 & 12 still uses lightning 😂

[AnimateMania]

One day, Apple may not even include the charging cable in the box.

[tech]

The fake cables are stronger than the official ones 🤣

[Eminetics]

I think people misunderstand the purpose. It’s not about being the best cable, it’s about being 100% proprietary. Mission accomplished.

[rofernfernandes]

Apple: The new revolutionary apple charger is coming.
Imac pro stand: starts shaking in *fear*

[agoniaXdunya]

Watching this on my iPhone while trying to keep perfectly still so it keeps charging

[Chrisp-]

It's because apple can't monetize the UBC cable because it's universal.

[aumpauskar]

Imagine a world without lightning
Me and the android gang: Yes

[-subscriberswithahammerad]

Iphone chargers KEEP ON breaking or tangling


apple plz fix this instead of making 999 dollar pro stands
