no Apple is not replacing lightning connectors Apple has a history of dropping ports remember the iPod 30-pin dock connector how about having a regular USB port on a laptop so when a report comes out that says Apple will use a new connector that will work with some of its products people justifiably freak out however everybody stay calm here's what's really happening nine-to-five Mac reporter Apple will support something called the ultra accessory connector for devices in Apple's made for iPhone certification program the ultra accessory connector or UAC would be an 8-pin connector there's a little thinner than USBC people read that to mean Apple is coming up with yet another proprietary connector and perhaps Apple will replace lightning or USB seaports already so we reached out to Apple to find out what exactly is going on Apple told CNS that this new connector was not new at all and has been around for years you may have seen it uncertain Nikon cameras the ultra accessory connector name is actually the new thing Fox link calls it you see e6 while another company calls it the ultra mini connector to boil it down the news is Apple will support devices like a lightning to UIC or USB a tu AC adapter yeah that's not as horrifying ranks for more information check out cnet.com I'm Maya Zack tired and I'll see you online
