Thank fuck, the lightning charger is hot dogshit, IMO. Th lack of compatibility of iphone is annoying, particularly around how 3rd party charging cords won't work with their products sometimes.

I had an iphone for over a decade, and finally switched to android. It suits me better. I spend a lot less time thinking 'i should be able to do this' and looking for a workaround

Yeah the lightning charger in my experience immediately breaks when I put it in any position it just doesn't like.

Edit: should clarify I use an Android now

You'll feel right at home with usb-c then. I use both every day and, honestly, they both suck.

But with Usb-c you get Power Delivery which kicks the shit out of old 5v 2a nonsense
