Apple ’s two-sided Lightning connectors are a great small convenience , but you ’ve still got to plug them into your bulwark wart or computer the right room , because USB connexion are horrible and out to get you . Butaccording to fulfill Apple leaker Sonny Dickson , Apple ’s new Lightning cables could get two-sided superpower on both ends .
Yes , thenext measure for USB has two-sided cable system in mind , but Apple ’s new cables could bring that wonderful future to us in just a calendar month or two with a round-eyed and cunning qualifying . Instead of having pins that take up roughly half of the connection ’s mouth , these novel cable system appear to have a flimsy stratum of bowling pin that float in the center of the connector , with room on both side for the complimentary protrusion that dumbfound out of your wall wart or computer .

rumor of this reversibility trick have beenfloating around elsewhere , but this beautiful hereafter seems more likely than ever look at that Sonny Dickson — the dude wholeaked the iPhone 5C in great detailand has a good perfect running record — has apparently gotten his script on some of these puppies . These could be being manufactured for some third political party Lightning cable’s length , or a fabrication entirely , but let ’s hope for the sanity of everyone everywhere that these are real and impending .
With iPhone day around the corner , we should find out for sure fairly presently . And maybe , just maybe , we can see this heroic tech come to the USB side of some non - Lightning cables before that next variation of USB rolls around . God knows we could all use it . [ Sonny Dickson ]
Update : A new patent fag up byuSwitchshows that , yes , Apple has been guess about this form of functionality . That ’s scarcely a confirmation that it ’s amount presently ( or ever ) but it makes this leak seem a little more likely .
