Lightning interface analysis

There are 8-pin contacts on both sides of the mouth, which can work normally no matter how you insert it. So don't worry about inserting it backwards. Apple also officially claimed that the new interface is not only easier to use, but also more durable.

At the same time, it is pointed out that the new Lightning interface is an "all-digital" interface with "adaptive function". "Adaptive" actually means that specific signals required by accessories can be transmitted through the interface according to different accessories. Like the previous 30Pin Dock interface, the new Lightning interface also supports video output.

It is precisely because of this feature that Apple can launch the Lightning-to-HDMI/VGA converter.

Of course, another big advantage of the new Lightning interface is its size. It is 80% smaller than the original 30-pin connector, which means that the space you need to reserve for the connector on the device will be at least 80% smaller. Not to mention the related circuit complexity is reduced from 30 pins to 8 pins.

In fact, the new Dock interface is one of the reasons why the iPhone 5 can be 20% thinner than the iPhone 4S (another reason is that the touch layer of the screen and the screen itself have become one layer instead of the previous two layers).

The new Lightning interface can be seen at a glance that it is more durable than Apple's existing 30Pin Dock interface.
