I know you didn’t mean it that way, but that is actually the best solution from a production side, which Cook is. Just change one line in the process. Instead of a lightning port, it’s a usbc port.
It’s a phone. I don’t know why everyone wants 40 Gbps. Not that you’ll ever get unless you pony up for a $100 cable.
With all that said, it was hilarious to see them talk about usb 2 and how 3 is 20x faster because that shit was straight out of 20 years ago.
I know you're not the same person they replied to, but this is "arguing out of both sides of your mouth."
It can't be that "Apple carefully plans out everything years in advance so it had to be USB-C anyway due to the difficulty in adapting a new port" and also that "they do a simple one line change in the production run to swap to USB-C" because these two things are diametrically opposed to one another.
Hey, maybe the production process and internal documentation is so shit that it does in fact take several years in advance to plan out a simple swap of the connector XD
