Nope, the one thing I prefer about Lightning over USB-C is the design. It has little pins inside the phone that push into indents on the plug, I’ve never had a lightning port be loose but every USB-C port I’ve had has loosened up over time.

USB-C is technically superior and has faster data transfer speeds etc, but if all you do with it is charge your phone Lightning wins hands down.

I completely agree with this opinion.

My month old M2 MBA’s usb c ports feel mushier than the lightning ports on my 2016 iPhone SE or my 2016 iPad Pro.

I want usb c everywhere so it’s easier to connect everything together, charge anything anywhere, all that good stuff.. but I would hate for my phone’s charging port to be mushier.

Apart from my 2017 MacBook Pro I’ve never had a USB C port get loose on any device.

Jealous, any USB-C device I've owned for about ~18mo has gone the same way.

I really want the 1 cable to rule them all, especially since my iPhone is now my only Lightening device left in my home, but I love the quality and fit of the lightning. I always feel like I'm going to break the port on my Type C devices.
