The fifth generation iPod Touch, iPhone 5, 7th generation iPod Nano, 4th generation iPad, and iPad Mini all come with the new feature: a new dock connector called \u201cLightning.\u201d This new connector replaces the 30- pin Apple connector which was first introduced by Apple when the 3rd Generation iPod came out.<\/p>\n
The Apple Lightning connector has eight pins and all the signaling is digital. Both of its sides are the same and is unlike the 30-pin connector that can only be inserted one way. Apple Adapters can convert the Apple Lightning connector to the 30-pin Apple Dock connector or USB. Not all accessories will work with the adapter.<\/p>\n
