But the proprietary connector plug itself is almost identical to the lightning connector, the only difference is that the bolster has some notches in it for the BATTERY to lock into. All the locking is in the battery, they could have, should have, used USB C or any other existing connector.

Um, it has twice as many pins. The same number of pins as thunderbolt which likely isn't a coincidence.

Exactly, so it could've just been USB C
