- gatehouse 12y agoI'm not sure this is what parent^ is referring to. The "male" USB is box-shaped, and the "female" USB has the interior protrusion (with the pins on it) and then the larger slot. The apple lightning cable is just a tab that goes in a hole. Similar to a barrel power connector versus a headphone plug.
- Igglyboo 12y agoYea but the male usb still goes inside the female. It's really crude but the designations are supposed to mirror human reproductive organs, male goes inside of female.
