Apple struggles to make a connection
Life, James Hein, Published on 22/03/2017
» There is a rumour that Apple could be replacing its Lightning Port on the 10th-anniversary iPhone with the popular USB-C alternative. I don't believe it. USB-C is too popular, and Apple has a habit of going its own way with connectors and other items. Apple has long been anti-standards when it comes to their devices, and, while it would be a good thing, they have invested too much in their proprietary Lightning connectors to let them go. So even if they did adopt USB-C it would be an Apple-only version, requiring Apple-specific cables and chargers. Sure, Apple could come up with a Lightning-to-USB cable of some kind, but that would be too easy.

» As predicted, the Chinese products in the smartphone, tablet and smartwatch categories are starting to come thick and fast, and they are starting to challenge major brand names like Apple and Samsung. I was browsing the Banggood website recently and saw the new CHUWI Hi12 Stylus Version Tablet PC for sale. This is a 12-inch-screen tablet device that dual boots into Android 5.1 and Windows 10.
