10 years ago, Apple was still about to introduce iPhone 5, so basically every iPhone and iPad of that time still relied on the old 30-pin iPod connector.

You'll need a special BTF motherboard to use it, but after this week's reliability demonstration, it might well be worth ...

10:50 AM PDT · September 12, 2023 On September 12, 2012, Apple said farewell to its clunky 15-pin connector and brought in a sleek, smooth, reversible 8-pin connector called the Lightning plug.

But for all its strengths, there’s one thing Apple’s connector isn’t: universal. In 2022, most of our devices use a reversible, versatile port to charge and connect — and it’s not Lightning.

As reported by Tom's Hardware, a lawsuit filed last week concerning the 12VHPWR 16-pin connector used for the company's current high-end graphics card, the GeForce RTX 4090.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 graphics cards are reportedly set to stick with eight-pin power connectors, rather than use the company's new 12VHPWR connector, suggests a new leak.

The 12V-2x6 connector introduces two new power modes, enabling support for 150W and 300W in addition to the existing 450W and 600W modes. Each pin of the connector can handle a minimum of 9.2 amps.
