alt Hacker NewsI've never had trouble with usb-c, but have had lightning connectors short out and burn one of the leads, or stop working from dust. Not sure I'd say one is better than the other, but individual experience can really vary on these kind of things. Tough to say one is clearly better imo.
My experience that lighting was by far the best - when everything lightning I had was made by Apple.
As things became available in the after-market quality began to vary.
My biggest issue with USB-C right now is I have some devices that need a really long "tongue" and I can't find a cable with such.
