Video Shows New Lightning Cable with Reversible USB Connector in ActionLast Friday,
a report and photos of a new Lightning cable with a reversible USB connector surfaced, which was followed by another
image from frequent iOS device part leaker Sonny Dickson. Now, Dickson has shared a
new short video of the Lightning cable in action, showing its USB connector being reversed and plugged in both ways.

Apple could start shipping a new Lightning cable alongside the next wave of iOS device releases this fall, which will likely start with the
iPhone 6 next month. It is unknown if the updated cable will contain any new features aside from a reversible USB connector, although
past rumors have pointed to support for high-definition audio playback.
An Apple
patent discussing a reversible USB connector was also published last month, and discussed a more user-friendly design compared to current cables. However, it is unknown if this new cable will face
challenges from the likes of California company UltraTek, which already holds a patent itself for a reversible connector and currently sells cables through major online retailers.
