    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.

      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.

      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.
