I seriously don't understand why they do this. It was the one thing I was looking for the iPhone to get updated to.

Who cares the port is just for charging and the phones come with a converter cable.

I don't get the hate in this particular scenario tbh

Yeah, it's dumb as fuck. They need to move on already.

Just a FYI though, it's called Lightning. Thunderbolt is different and the latest (Thunderbolt 3/4) uses USB-C.

The biggest problem with lighting is that it's still USB 2.0, so all that 4k hdr videos will take forever to get onto a laptop.

Sad because they keep marketing it as a videocam alternative.

Like so: https://youtu.be/dDKbwvSvg0w

Too much effort to switch it now when they are just going to remove the port in a year or two anyway

Theoretically they could upgrade Lightning to USB 3.0 and it would work on all existing devices right?

No, the USB controller hardware is different. You can't make a chip operate at speeds a factor of ten faster than it was designed for in software alone.

They will get rid of all ports before they move to USB-C on their phones I bet.
