Engineer Explains How He Added a Fully Functioning Lightning Port to a Samsung Phone

[justperry]

He has a point. Using a lighting charger is a waste of time in 2022. Even the iPads use USBC. We all know apple just wants to squeeze some extra cash out of us. I use the S22Ultra with USBC and it charges the phone at least 2x faster than my iPhone 13 ProMax.

He doesn't, the engineer had fun with it and then some...

"It was for fun, I just wanted to see if I could do it," he explained, adding that such projects serve as a great example of what can be achieved with devices, even without the help of the companies that originally made them.

Cool. What is his tell?

It's his tongue. He sticks out the tip of his tongue and wiggles it. He doesn't know he's doing it. He just gets excited when he draws a good hand.

The cat is playing the long game, bro. Once you've fixated on a supposed tell, cat's gonna cash in on the big stakes game. Just like how Le Chiffre got 007 fixated on a supposed tell and bankrupted the superspy.

He is a SUPER SPY. Can't you tell?

Ya know, you can't go wrong with kitten pics. We got him back in early March. He's such a ham. And I suppose kitten pics are off topic. But. Kitten pics!

I'd pay to have my Lightning port removed, and some knuckle head paid to have it added.

but Why?!?

Let's take a Samsung and cripple it even more!!

talk about useless, i'd rather see him do it the other way around.

Just wait. I’ll do even better and add a VGA port to the 2021 MacBook Pro.

Cute.

I'm very impressed that this actually worked.

I was a huge Lightning advocate... until I wasn't. It's failed too many times now. USB-C is superior.

Just got to love what a good engineer or trade person is capable of when they set their mind to it.

It would be more important if Apple gets a USBC port FINALLY into their phone.

As soon as hell freezes over …
Apple became too greedy and to arrogant to add standard ports to their devices. Even if they outperform its own ports simplifies the handling of mobile devices.

Interesting to see lightning on Samsung!!

I (and I’m not the only one) suspect the next port on iPhone will be NO port. MagSafe / wireless only. There really is actually no reason at this time for any port at all except to initially turn on wireless syncing with Finder / iTunes - and that’s an easy software solution.
