Apple Lightning Connector

The Apple Lightning Connector is a small, reversible port used for connecting Apple devices like iPhones, iPads, and iPods to chargers, computers, and accessories. Designed to be compact and versatile, it allows data transfer and power delivery while enabling users to connect cables in either orientation. Introduced in 2012, it replaced older, larger connectors, offering a convenient and reliable way to connect Apple products. The Lightning port also supports various accessories, including headphones and external storage, although Apple has begun transitioning to the universal USB-C standard on newer devices.
