Thunderbolt, the news
Apple and Intel standard fordata transferbetween
peripherals, could be adapted to iPhone, iPad and other devices under
iOS. With hisawesome featuresthis
interface could change the way we use our iPhone or iPad.
Thunderbolt is already available on the latest Mac computers and displays
Apple and could therefore arrive on iOS:
The first compatible hard drives are available. The characteristics
of the standard areimpressive(source
Wikipedia):
- flow up to10 to 100 Gbps, to compare to the 5 Gbits/s of
l’USB 3.0 - possibility of connectingup to 6 devices in series
("chain") - hot plugging (no need to reboot the device)
- two-way transfer
- management ofPCI express and DisplayPort protocols(which
also allows you to connect via USB, Firewire,
video,…). This is an important point because it allows, for example, to have in
a single "Thunderbolt chain" a laptop, a hard drive containing
movies and a screen to display them.
We can consider several applications for iPhone or iPad. By making his
iOS devices compatible with Thunderbolt, Apple would allow us to
examples of performing thebackups and restores in one
flash!Or also, like a MacBook Air connected to a
Apple Thunderbolt screen, why not connect your phone to watch
a video on the big screen while recharging quickly?
So very interesting. But this will requiremodify the
30 pin connectoror at least use an adapter. Well
this could happen quickly because Apple last year filed another
patent describing a hybrid 30-pin to USB/DisplayPort adapter. "THE
report" you will tell me? The Thunderbolt connector is based on that of the Mini
DisplayPort!
