"What Is the Apple Vision Pro’s Secret Wide Lightning Connector For? What is the wide Lightning plug called?"

draft - I wonder -can it do more than 240 watts?

USBC is limited to 240 watts. Could a 12 pin lightning connector do 500 watts? A kilowatt?

Also, could they open the standard so that its not proprietary? if they had done so with lightning, even if they charged other companies to use it, maybe it would have taken over. why did they let usbc become a standard and not lightning?

Apple's fall event is coming up and it's expected that the iPhone 15 will adopt USB-C. Let's clear a few things up:
▶︎ Apple designed Lightning as a modern connector for "the next decade" (that was in September 2012).
▶︎ Apple needed a reversible, universal adapter (well, "universal" to Apple at least) in 2012 - USB-C spec was still two years away from being published.
▶︎ Apple "isn't mad" about changing to USB-C. If anything, Apple must have a crystal ball because they hit the "decade" nail on the head! If it wasn't for COVID, I bet the transition would have completed MUCH sooner.
▶︎ Apple has already been transitioning to USB-C since 2016. Remember the redesigned MacBooks? Every model since has been USB-C and it's been nothing but complaining about "dongle hell" ignoring the fact that maybe it's the peripheral manufacturers refusing to give up USB-A?
▶︎ Proprietary ports, open standard ports. Nothing seems to make anyone happy. While USB-C is far from perfect, it FINALLY embraces the "Universal" part of Universal Serial Bus.
▶︎ BTW, Apple sits on the Board of Directors for the USB Implementers Forum... so... yeah, they're kinda into this whole USB thing and know proprietary connectors are so 2012.

One thing I won’t miss about the #LightningConnector is it’s habit of burning through cables. Happened with pretty much every #iPhone I’ve had: at some point one of the middle pins on a cable will stop working, meaning the cable becomes one-sided. Some later the other side stops working too, rendering the cable useless. I don’t remember ever having this issue with #USBC
