MicroUSB and Mini interfaces have disappeared in mainstream devices, replaced by the USB-C interface standard, which basically realizes the unity of the C port except for the iPhone. A few years ago, the European Union passed a resolution to unify mobile phone interfaces, but Apple still goes its own way. In recent years, Apple has repeatedly advocated energy conservation and environmental protection, but the iPhone interface has been unwilling to give up Lightning, all of which stems from the huge profits generated by the self-built MFi authorized accessories ecosystem. For Apple users, it is too cumbersome to bring several cables and several chargers to charge multiple digital devices on their bodies.
Chinese manufacturers have developed chargers equipped with Lightning output interfaces
Recently, the charging head network received the news that Some Chinese manufacturers have developed a charger with lightning interface for the phenomenon that the device interface is not universal. Yes, you heard it right.
As can be seen from the leaked pictures, this is a charger with three output ports, and the volume is close to the common 20W fast charger on the market. In terms of interface configuration, there are three interfaces of 1A1C1L, namely the USB-A interface that supports QC fast charging, the USB-C interface that supports PD fast charging, and the interface marked "LT", which is undoubtedly the Lightning interface.
Lightning cables support reverse power transmission
As we all know, the interface specifications of the USB-C to USB-C data cable are exactly the same, and the power transmission is regardless of direction and can be used forward/reverse, which is known to everyone. The USB-C to Lightning data cable confuses many people, its two ends of the interface specifications are not the same, many users think that only from the USB-C plug end to take power, Lightning plug end output.
In fact, the USB-C to Lightning data cable can also be taken from the Lightning end, reverse transmission to the USB-C end, the internal chip supports reverse current transmission, which includes Apple MFi certified C94 data cable, cracking scheme of non-MFi certified data cable.
Charging head net summary
For Apple users, in addition to the iPhone will use the Lightning interface, I believe that most of the digital devices are USB-C interface, usually at home may not feel that there will be any problems, but as long as the problem of travel will appear, at least two or more types of data cables to take care of all devices.
After Chinese manufacturers develop chargers with Lightning outputs, Apple users only need to bring a USB-C to Lightning data cable when they go out, and they can eat all the devices. The iPhone needs to be charged, the data cable is plugged into the charger USB-C interface, and the Lightning interface charges the phone. Other devices need to be charged, the data cable is inserted into the charger Lightning port, USB-C terminal output, compatible with all mainstream devices.
And the charger also integrates three major interface types of 1A1C1L, which makes the compatibility of the device and the cable seamless, without missing a possibility. This small Lightning interface charger, let Xiaobian see the transfer point of the charger accessories market, more compatible, more versatile must be the general direction of the future.
