Apple’s alleged new connector is an old off-the-shelf connector used with such products as Nikon cameras.
Apple blog 9to5Mac reported today that Apple was planning a ” new smaller Ultra Accessory Connector (UAC) for Made-for-iPhone accessories ,” which created a small uproar in the blogosphere. Another Apple connector? There’s Lightning for iPhones and iPads, and USB-C for Macs. Why do we need another connector, and a potentially proprietary one at that? Aren’t we already using too many dongles?
But hold on. Apple told CNET that the alleged new connector isn’t new at all and has been around for years and used with such products as Nikon cameras.
