Faced with the impassivity of the Cupertino company regarding the future of USB cables and the possibility of eradicating their insertion problems with the popularization of the reversible model the company dedicated to the design and distribution of accessories for mobile phones Griffin has decided to take part in the matter during CES 2015.
On the last day of CES, the company unveiled a Lightining with a reversible male USB connector, which will put an end to the eternal hassle of the USB position when connecting it.
As you might suppose, its price is above other Lightning cables offered by the competition such as Amazon Basics, Belkin or Apple itself, but undoubtedly more than one will gladly pay for it. The company has considered a launch price of $ 29.99 (around € 25). We must add that this cable ha obtained MFi certification which means that it has the approval of Apple for use in compatible iDevices.
This cable also has the characteristic of being braided, so presumably is prepared to withstand harsher usage conditions than other cables. Regarding its manufacturing characteristics, the Griffin representative has said:
"Griffin's braided cable elements resist kinking, while its anodized aluminum housing stabilizes the lightning connector and protects it from physical stress," he added; “Lastly, the cable design has withstood high-level bend testing as well as environmental testing. The result is a high-quality cable built for reliability and durability. "
We recall that in August 2014 rumors circulated frantically about the implantation of this type of reversible USB cables by Apple, although they were never consummated.
Unfortunately the company has not provided a date for the market launch of the cable it has presented, but we all hope it will be soon.
Faif to be, my dies I leave him. Greetings from me parseross
For me, more than the fact of being reversible (it is not a problem for me to turn it if it does not enter the correct position) it would seem much more important to me that USB 3.0 be implanted; running applications with iTunes is soporific ...
