I'm totally stoked about people regularly plugging phones into their PCIe (Thunderbolt) port. Hottest talk at BlackHat USA 2013 will be an iPhone 5 -> MacBook exploit using DMA.
- andrewmunsell 14y agoThey just call it Lightning. AFAIK, it still plugs into USB.
- secalex 14y agoThat doesn't seem clear from the coverage so far. Obviously it has to be USB in the box, but the name hints that there would be a Thunderbolt option at least.
- andrewmunsell 14y agoI'd be surprised. There's nothing you would need 10 Gbps for on a phone. The flash memory wouldn't even keep up. Plus with cables costing $50, it'd be an expensive option to have a second kind of cable. It's probably just marketing lingo to make it seem like it's related to TB.
- ubercore 14y agoDriving a display would be one of those times, though. I would love having a phone as the basic computing device, with a desktop and tablet shell.
