This is what I was wondering about. You can do a heck of a lot of different things through a thunderbolt port. You don't need seperate copper pipes/pins for each function... It's not a miniature switchboard, with a bunch of tiny cables plugged into each pin.
- taligent 14y agoThunderbolt cables have very expensive, somewhat fragile controllers at each end of the cable. The Lightening cables are designed to be cheap, simple and sturdy.
- panacea 14y agoNot an answer to the question I asked. You've conflated 'connector sturdiness' with function. A micro-usb plug could be made rugged. Thanks anyway.
