Apples New Lightning Connector: What It Does And Doesnt Change

Lightning-connectorApple changed its long-standing 30-pin dock connector out for an 8-pin new standard called Lightning. But what does that actually mean for users? Well the advantages are mostly passed on through what they mean for hardware design, not necessarily around performance.Here's the skinny: Apple made claims on-stage about improved speed and reliability, thanks to an "eight-signal, all-digital" hardware design. The speed could be better, but this is still based on USB 2.0 spec, not 3.0 or Thunderbolt. That means gains will be modest, not magical. And given that Apple recently made sure that its latest notebooks all have USB 3.0, that seems strange.
