It has a nice click when plugging in even on my 4 yo device. Lasts forever. Every cable feels the same and fits perfectly because they are all made to a standard.
I have USB-C cables that are too loose or too tight. I have USB-C cables that click and that are so mushy I sometimes need to double check if they are in. USB-C wiggles in the port more than Lightning does. Lightning was a great connector both by design and because of the strict control Apple had over it. Am I sad it’s gone? Not really, but it was nice to have it when everyone else was stuck with micro usb <vomits>.
