It is a blurry picture........definitely real!!!! :p

If real though, it must be a prototype, like I said in the previous leak with brushed aluminum, doubt this has the final coating applied.

I am looking forward to having the same cable for every device, iPhone, iPad MacBook Air, my Android work phone, Nintendo Switch. This is going to be fantastic.
Same although I'm not looking forward to replacing all my lightning cables.

I currently have products that use micro usb, lightning and usb c with either usb a or c on the brick or power source end.
 
Yah but does this twitter leaker Twitter Verified?

I only believe twitter people that give Enron his 8 bucks each month.


LOL.
I dont know if calling Elon, Enron was a typo or on purpose but either way its a great comparison. Same house of cards just a different company.

I was working on a trading desk when the news of Enron hit and boy was it a wild few days.
 
I would love for a bigger dynamic island seated in the perfect center of the screen. I would think Apple is super genius for that kind of innovative design. I would quickly forget about it when watching a video, gaming or browsing. Whatever clever use by a handful of developers after 5 years will be amazing!

It was most definitely not a typo. I remember the Enron fiasco well and the vibes between it and Twitter 2.0 are scary real.
 
Significantly lighter and minimal camera bump is my wish list. Going to be very hard to upgrade from a Mini otherwise.

Someone (like Apple) aught to come up with a recycling program. There's not much copper in each cable, but not nothing either. Add up all Lightning cables ever sold, and it's probably a very substantial amount of copper.
I would trade in each of my lightning cables in for $5 off usb-c to usb-c cables

At Newark's new airport terminal the other day, there was already a universal charging standard that powered my iPhone, my neighbour's Android phone, and my AirPods. Qi is an existing universal charging standard and the newer spec charges at or above the USB-C fast charging speed.
 
Unpopular opinion: Lightning is a better connector physically than USB-C. Sure... I know why people want USB-C on an iPhone. (Standardization, faster transfer speeds, charging...etc.) But from a durability standpoint... I think Lightning is better.
Tell that to my iPad Pro 10.5" with a broken Lightning port that I have to charge painfully slowly through its smart connector. And I need to replace the battery, but I'm guessing Apple won't do that because of the broken Lightning port.
