Wow Apple just INVENTED the USB-C port! It has so many innovations over the tired and old Lightning port, there’s absolutely no reason Apple fans to prefer Lightning. SO BRAVE! In preparation for this massive unveiling Apple has been secretly working with 51835947 different third party companies (mostly on AliExpress) to create a lush USB-C accessory ecosystem!
I would not call myself an Apple fun, but I find lighting port easier to connect, especially at night without light. Since I have iphone, I also have many lightning cables for me and my family. So, for me this change is inconvenience, and I would prefer to stay on lightning.
It is not about which side, but about at which angle I can insert the lightning connector. It is just easier to do it with lightning when you can not see it.
You might be thinking of the old micro USB where direction mattered. USB-c has been the standard for every other manufacturer for years now, and it’s super easy to plug in without seeing.

I wish lightning was fast… USB2 speeds are awful when I’m backing up 20k photos hahaha
Other than changing, what do you use lightning for, where you require speed?
Slow charging is good.
I need speed for transferring tons of photos to my computer.
Lightning is more or less the progenitor to USB-C, so the benefits are the same since you can plug in USB-C either way.
This also means you can charge your iPad with the same connector as these phones if you have of the models that came with a USB-C charger.
It is not about which side, but about at which angle I can insert the lightning connector. It is just easier to do it with lightning when you can not see it.
I don’t find that to be true, and I would be surprised if many people do. But your experience is just as valid.
