iPad Pro and iOS9 are here

I was quite surprised to find out that there are ICs in the Lightning connector. So that charging/sync cable isn't just wires and connectors. Try to not lose them.

I saw one on the internet that had been opened and was amazed too, to see the circuitry in something that small. I can seen why the cable is that expensive (maybe a little overpriced?) and why you should probably stick with genuine apple cables and accessories for 100% compatibility and reliability.

These cables have never let me down.

I don't have any particular problem with having it all be one connector - but hate that Apple won't sell us the complete breakout box for it. You can buy the "camera connection kit" that gives you a USB port but we really need a box that charges the iDevice, gives you one (or more) fully powered USB port, and a UTP Ethernet port. Hey, maybe the iPad Pro will have those eventually and they'll be backwards compatible :) ? In the mean time I've yet to hear of anyone having a problem with the iPad when it's right next to the AP? Just run UTP out to your AP at FOH and you shouldn't have any problems :) .

Does the chip in the lead do anything, I thought it was there purely to scupper the chance of using a non Apple cable.
You would think the circuitry encased in the lead would be safer on the pads internal pcb?
