    iPhone 8/Plus Lightning contact wiggling in port

    iPhone Interchanging between charger of Samsung, Nokia, Apple

    All the chargers from different makes provide USB interface which is then converted to lightning connector.

    Where is the 3.5mm TO Lightning Headphone Adapter?

    Where is the 3.5mm (source) to Lightning (headphone) adaptor? I kept shaking my head during the keynote, then went online to check things out. No way to use your new Lightning headphones with your old Apple gear like iPods and Macs, or anything else, all but guaranteeing that a customer needs...

    Why the iPhone won't get USB-C [MERGED]

    When Apple introduced Lightning, they said it "is a modern connector for the next decade", openly admitting that the naming was inspired by the 'Thunderbolt' port, when Schiller said "Now we have thunderbolt, and lightning, in our connector strategy". At first that didn't make a lot of sense...

    Lightning 'EarPods' and iPhone 7 dummies on eBay (UK and China)

    I thought these were hard to find until I searched for them on eBay. Most of the images are quite misleading, but they are all the same type. Obviously they aren't the real deal, but I would hope nobody thought they were at this point...

    Bug in iOS 10 Beta Gives Credence Towards Lightning Headphones

    When listening to music in the iOS 10 beta, if you unplug the Lightning cable from the device (while having headphones plugged in), the music will pause for around half a second or so. I believe that the pause occurs because the normal behavior when unplugging headphones is to pause the music...
