I don't necessarily "miss" lightning but it was a superior design. With USB-C the cables are female so you're more likely to break off the connector on the device instead of the cable, which is cheap and easy to replace. Lightning didn't have that problem.

I disagree. In my experience of having both of these for a number of years I never had to replace a USB-C cable because it was broken. I had to replace the lighting cable more than I can count.
