Apple TV 4K hides a lightning connector in its Ethernet portBut you probably can't use it for anything
What you need to know
A Lightning connector has been discovered hiding in the ethernet port of Apple's 4K TV.
It was probably added by Apple for debugging and diagnostics.
There's a very slim chance it could pave the way for jailbreaking.
Reports on Twitter have revealed that Apple's 4K TV features a hidden Lightning connector, stealthily concealed inside of the Ethernet port on the back of the device.
The discovery was originally made by @nitoTV, who posted a photo the Lightning port's ping configuration as found inside the device:

The find was backed up by @littlesteve, who revealed he was searching for a logic analyzer earlier this week for this very purpose.
I guess now the cats out of the bag, the question people will have is how do you access this externally. Well I got you 😉
