Hate ? Lack of USB-C
New Macs have USB-C. The iPad Pro has USB-C. But Apple’s smartphones and its cheaper tablets have stuck with Lightning, despite rumors that the first-party charging mechanism was on the chopping block.
That may end up being a problem for users who have already begun switching to USB-C in their own setups. And it signals that Lightning is here to stay for at least a couple more years. Say what you will about it, but USB-C is still a superior port standard. (But hey, there’s a 3.5mm headphone jack still.)
This isn’t all bad, however. While Apple (and the entire industry) is moving toward USB-C, there are undoubtedly tons of users who still rely on Lightning-based accessories. But with Lightning potentially on its way out, the lack of USB-C support seems like a downside.
