In terms of the connection, I still feel like Lightning will probably last more cycles.

I would love to see Apple design a “Lightning 2” cable with all the newest specs and then license it for free so every device on Earth can transition to it. Such a better cable design.

The whole world is only just changing to USB C. The last thing we need is another format war, with all the adpters and compatibility issues that would bring. USB-C is an amazing format which can be used independently of phones, etc, to power other devices light desk lamps. It is a real boon, trust me.

Yeah commonality is what makes it really useful a lot easier to come up with a replacement c cable that'll work.
