Yes but thats a lot of work, what if all this was already setup

I think the Lightning-Protocol was a little more difficult, because there were Display Adapters which probably need more than 4 lanes. And who could forget: some iPad actually had Usb 3 over Lightning.

No, if the clamp-mechanism breaks, you habe to replace the connector on the device while with UsbC you only have to use a different cable.

There is physical connections between devices. The pins that make electrical contact. There are 24 on UsbC and 8 on lightning making a lot more things possible.

Also there are structural benifits. Lightning connectors are held in by the device which makes replacing the clamp a lot more difficult than just switching the cable like UsbC, where that mechanism is inside the cable.

And last but not least is Usb an open protocol while you would have to pay Apple if you wanted to implement Lightning.

This is a professional debug techique, what are you talking about? But I rather use ‘Hii’ with various (but not ascending) amounts of i’s.

The OS includes microG which has a SafetyNet implementation

yes, the apps are mediocre, but there are alternatives. (Also, its the only ROM with official support for my device)

Yes, they do

Whats that squirrel??
