    Phones go in pockets. Pockets have lint. Lightning ports are way easier to clean than USB-C.

    iPads and Macbooks mostly stay in the house or get carried in a bag rather than a pocket. Way less lint, so the benefits of USB-C far outweigh the benefits of Lightning here.

      How much more lint do you think will an USB-C port catch than a lightning port? Answer: Insignificantly little. You’r reaching for arguments here.

        I said easier to clean not that it catches less lint. I could even use a toothpick for my iPhone. Nothing thicker than a sim tool worked for my Oneplus and that had trouble getting it all out. Even most NEEDLES I had were too thick.
