IMHO, the lightning connector is a bad design. It not only that it is too small and thin and can fall into an AC outlet (and no I am not kidding, after I posted that it almost happened to me). It is very hard to unplug from iPad, I use the Apple iPad Smart Case and I can barely get enough grip to unplug the Lightning conector without pulling from the wire. I do not have large hands. Seems like it was designed for a child's fingers, not for an adult. on iPhone it is acceptable because the base of the iPhone is not tilted, but on iPad the edge where you plug it in is tilted and the add the case and more than half of the lightning connector is not accesible to pull from.
