The data cable of iPhone12 is Lightning port, but one data cable has two ports. Among them, Lightning port is connected to the position of the tail plug of the phone, while the other end is a universal USB port, which is a special interface of Apple and a high-speed multifunctional I/O interface released by Apple in 2012. Previously, the 30-pin Dock interface was used. After the introduction of this interface, subsequent models developed by Apple adopted Lightning interface, including iPhone 12.
What are the features of the Lightning port?
When it comes to the characteristics of Lightning interface of Apple phones, it can only be compared with the Dock interface. At the same time, there are Micro-USB interfaces, but the adaptation and bearing functions of the Micro-USB interface are relatively simple. Although the functions of the Lightning interface are equivalent to those of the Dock interface, compared with the new generation of smart mobile devices, It cannot provide more functions for the device, while the traditional Dock interface has some shortcomings, which will affect the follow-up research and development of products. Therefore, Apple launched the Lightning interface, inheriting all the clear functions of the Dock interface. On the original basis, it saves installation space, solves positive and negative problems, reduces charging time, and is more durable. However, one thing to be clear is that the sturdy and durable here is not to say that Apple's data cable is good, but compared with the old Dock interface data cable, the damage rate is lower.
How does Lightning compare to Type-C?
There is no need to compare the two interfaces at all. First of all, Lightning interface is only applicable to Apple series products, while Type-C interface is the preferred interface for other products except Apple series products. It is a general interface in the industry. Although there are corresponding standards for Lightning interface, it is not a universal interface, and in Europe, Apple has begun to be required to replace the Lightning interface with a universal Type-C interface.
In addition, Lightning interface is not better than Type-C interface in terms of performance convenience, and in some aspects, it is weaker than Type-C interface. In terms of compatibility and performance, in terms of the compatibility of existing models, Type-C interface is far behind Lightning interface. The Type-C port has already broken the 100-watt charge mark, while the Lightning port is still hovering in the tens of watts range.
