Real question. I would like to know what drives you to hate Apple? (In terms of privacy of course because in terms of price it’s another story).

        No you can’t really as lightning requires you to pay royalties to Apple. It isn’t a open connector. You can’t even get anything faster than USB2 speeds.

            Only the most recent ones and everything but the “pro” model doesn’t support anything but USB 2.

            Not that it matters though as it is still a locked down ecosystem.

              Fair, but now that they’re using USB-C that’s a temporary thing.

              Also most people don’t need USB 3 speeds on their phones anyway because they don’t really plug them into anything that will take advantage of those speeds.

              I realize some people do, and for those people the pro is the answer to that.

              It seems like you just keep moving the goalpost to keep having a reason to hate Apple.
