Explanation
Lightning is a proprietary computer bus and power connector developed by Apple Inc. to replace its previous proprietary 30-pin dock connector. It is recommended that consumers purchase official Lightning cables directly from Apple or authorized Apple resellers. Third-party Lightning cables may use slightly different technology and could cause unexpected problems.
