These are the oldest option, and people used these in chargers for iOS like Apple iPhones, iPads, iPods, and also cameras, etc. Some of the later ones are compatible with the ones that came before. However, Apple made various kinds of connection systems for only Apple computing devices. Each version is faster than the previous one. The USB connection system is cross-platform and has been around for a long time, undergoing new versions such as USB-A, B and C.
What are Apple Connection Systems?Ī connection system includes the hole, known as a port (female), the plug (male) that goes into it, and the software that reads that type of data input. You can then run Apple devices from it that only use only Thunderbolt or Lightning cables. This also supports people on Windows who install Apple operating systems on Windows computers via platforms like Boot Camp.
As long as the connection system is available and compatible, you can connect and run non Apple peripherals too. Furthermore, the peripherals need come from Apple. They allow your main Apple to connect to various peripheral devices and thus sync and transfer data. Apple USB cables, hubs and adapters are all accessories for your Apple computer, phone, iPad and more.
