    Thank gawd!!

    I have a double hernia from lugging that damn lightning cable around.

    you too? i thought it was just me.

    This is yet another clear indication of the rather low IQ of the iKooks.

    I used to wonder why the iKooks can't grasp even this, one of the most
    basic of concepts of standardization on cabling standards moving forward.

    I thought it was just that they drank the koolaid, but why there have been these flame wars over the decades with Apple aficionados is simply that the Apple iKooks own a superlatively low IQ. Nothing more complex than that.

    These low-IQ iKooks can't possibly comprehend what it means in convenience
    when the goal is to standardize on a single industry standard for cabling.

    Even something as _simple_ as that concept, is beyond iKooks' mental grasp.

    Do you know what "tautology" means...

    ...or did your education not cover that?

    To "standardize on a [] standard".

    Your logic is flawed. There is no standard. I'm still getting new devices with Mini-USB ports. Just this week a new battery charger for ultra-small RC aircraft came a choice Mini-USB or a 6 volt wall charger.
