-‘lightning’ is a proprietary ‘computer bus’ + ‘power connector’ created by ‘apple incorporated’ Introduced on ’12 september 2012′, to replace its predecessor, the ’30-pin dock connector’-

‘iPhones’
‘iPads’
‘iPods’
.
TO…
‘host computers’
‘external monitors’
‘cameras’
‘USB battery chargers’

(using ‘8’ pins instead of ’30’, ‘lightning’ is significantly more ‘compact’ than the ’30-pin dock connector’ and can be inserted with either side facing up)
.
(however, unless used with an ‘adapter’, it is incompatible with ‘cables’ + ‘peripherals’ designed for its ‘pre-decessor’)
