While I share your general frustration with new standards and the fact that
particularly in the mountain bike world we would rather use technology to make
up for our own shortfalls (I can save 50grams by changing equipment but I
won't cut my 20% body fat!), for clarity you should note that the change to
Lightning cables occurred in iphone 5's. I only know as the 5 recently became
my phone, and my dumbass thought they still used 30pin. But really, 30pin was
legitimately shitty comparatively, and 9 years in tech as a standard
(considering Moore's Law) is amazing.
