I’ve been playing around a lot with Android and my LG Optimus Black recently so I found myself having to recharge often. And of course, it recharges via microUSB with which I’ve had so many problems. Those plugs are so darn flakey! Maybe I don’t take care of my plugs well enough, maybe I just got some shoddy plugs. But comparing microUSB to Lightning, it’s quite clear that Lightning is so much better. Being a standard doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good and Apple thought different and went ahead with Lightning. It’s these little things that makes Apple great.
