There is physical connections between devices. The pins that make electrical contact. There are 24 on UsbC and 8 on lightning making a lot more things possible.

Also there are structural benifits. Lightning connectors are held in by the device which makes replacing the clamp a lot more difficult than just switching the cable like UsbC, where that mechanism is inside the cable.

And last but not least is Usb an open protocol while you would have to pay Apple if you wanted to implement Lightning.

Yes, but what if the mouse could stop its charging cycle depending on its use, so it does not damage its battery. Or what if users could change the function of the power button to an short-press for sleep-button and long-press for power off.

There are better ways to change peoples habits while still maintaining basic functionallities.

Nein, ab jetzt kommen sie mit falsch implementiertem USB-C. Damit der nähmlich mit USB-C-zu-C Kabel funktionieren, braucht der nämlich Zusatzkonfiguration. Ohne die geht das Laden dann nur mit USB-A-zu-C und das nervt.

I also used iPhones for a long time until I had to switch to a temporary phone due to age-related hardware malfunction. Out of curiosity, I tried /e/ OS and was very pleasantly surprised.

The temporary phone is now in use for at least a year and I also get to enjoy other extraordinary features like USB-C and a headphone-jack. In the future, I may also give LineageOS a try.
