Apple adapter with HDMI contains Lightning on ARM-PC with 256MB of memory [Photos]

Last fall, Apple has presented a number of hardware and software upgrades. In addition to the announcement of new Mac and iPad, the Cupertino-based company began selling branded adapters to connect "Apple" of new products, equipped with port Lightning, to the HDMI and VGA.

It turned out that these adapters are not very common, or rather not ordinary. Inside the Lightning Digital AV Adapter discovered a mini-computer. This was reported by the developers Mac-Transmit and Coda applications from American companies Panic.

Initial concerns about the fact that the 8-pin Lightning does not support video output, and the assumption that Apple is going to transfer this functionality to wireless technology AirPlay, did not materialize. Displays a picture with iPhone 5 and iPad mini can be transmitted directly to the external display. To that end, Apple has released a special adapters Lightning Digital AV Adapter costs $ 49 and the Lightning to VGA Adapter for the same price.

In fact, the first cable that lets you display an image from the iPhone and iPad to an external monitor or TV via HDMI-Interface - this is not a normal adapter with re-solder contacts in a different sequence. Inside the adapter hides a full computer on the ARM processor with its operating system and 256 MB of RAM. This discovery made by developers Panic in testing different ways to display the picture in iOS-devices on the external screen.

Experts said that if the AV-adapter for iPhone and iPad with the old 30-pin port allows you to work with images 1080p, the new model for the interface Lightning-limited resolution of 1600 × 900 pixels. In this case, during the broadcast of the picture has noise inherent in video format MPEG.

"There are many questions. Which operating system is used in the adapter? The adapter runs on a stripped-down version of iOS, which is loaded in a few seconds each time you connect the cable to the device. This may explain the slight delay before the image displayed on the external screen. But why these crazy needed crutches? The only reasonable explanation is the limited capacity of the connector Lightning, which does not allow to work with HDMI-format directly, "- said in a Panic.

It is not known how exactly is encoding / decoding video Lightning Digital AV Adapter, according to developers, a mini-computer takes AirPlay-signal cable, and then converts it into a format HDMI. But now it is clear why a seemingly normal adapter is the same as Raspberry pi.

2013 will be the year iOS 7, despite the debut of iPhone 5S and iPad 5

Scheduled for 2013 many new products: iPhone 5S and iPhone 6, iPad mini with a Retina-display and an updated iPad 5. There will be A7 processor and technology LTE, which allows the simultaneous transmission voice and data. Maybe we will see a flexible display, biometric sensors, AirPlay-enabled 4K, built identifier voice, gestures and facial expressions. Apple, in one way or another, will continue on its path to the future, but for ordinary users of technological innovation is enough - they are quite pleased with the capabilities of their devices. Therefore, the most important thing in 2013 will not form inside or outside - and around him. We are talking about iOS.

iOS 6 to prepare the site for the future: to get out from Google, wedged into social networks and tighter targeting the China. The site is built but there is no future, even function with iOS 5 - iCloud and Siri - stuck in the problems of yesterday, despite fresh concept.

After starting the BlackBerry 10 later this month, will be the oldest iOS mobile system in the industry. Windows Phone has not yet found its place in the market, but Microsoft can always pour money and as long as their mobile office - the only part of the company going forward. Android is still behind iOS in terms of interface and usability, but its feature set pulls the whole platform forward. Also, do not forget about the Amazon, Facebook, Intel, NVIDIA, and other companies. They are all present in the market more and more variety of equipment - often much more diverse than the products Apple. But from a hardware point of view is not Samsung (or LG, HTC, Nokia and BlackBerry) will face Apple, namely Google and BlackBerry - who focuses on social mobility system.

The emphasis, of course, is not expressed in these old things as custom applications or minor variations of the interface. No, it is a software, which will force us to look for the right information, and independently provide all necessary. The interaction of the operating system and applications. Multilayer intuitive interface. Cloud technologies that allow to link together the entire ecosystem - so you can access the information when needed and where needed. Devices, operating jointly with each other. iOS version 7 should bring a brilliant synthesis of software and services to the physical device and cloud technologies.

In the coming weeks and months we will fall a ton of rumors about the new iPhone, iPad and other devices, the Californian company. But none of them will be as important to Apple, for us and for the future of mobile platforms like iOS 7, launched this summer.

5 major drawbacks iPhone 5

The fact that the iPhone 5 is undoubtedly one of the best devices of the time, I would like to point out five nasty flaws of this device. So to say that there is room to grow.

1. Fragility

iPhone 5 - is a kind of decoration, not only in appearance, but at the price of the gadget. Yes, jewelry is easily scratched, but because they are expensive, then they have to take care as the apple of an eye, right? But seriously, the fragility of the new iPhone clearly adds to his points. The problem with scratched models that go directly from the factory, has been solved, but otherwise muffled your device during activity quickly unusable form.

2. Battery

Frankly, the problem of weak batteries for everyone from Apple to Nokia. So the iPhone 5 just continues to this sad trend - it keeps the charge is slightly better than the iPhone 4S, but not so good to be able to speak of a revolution. Although, full-time and lasts.

3. iOS

Despite the very important (which in no way be underestimated) innovation on the hardware side - fast A6 processor and a new front HD-camera - iOS 6 are practically does not use, mobile platform uses very little power increased last iPhone. In terms of software until the iPhone 5 does not bring any new features - in your hands the same 4S, but with an extended screen.

4. Lightning jack and accessories

Most users of the iPhone 5 does not buy more after buying new accessories to it - as a rule, they have long been bought and are waiting for a new owner. However, with the arrival of the iPhone 5 will probably have to throw out - a smartphone elementary different slot. True, the change of the connector (first put into service already since 2003) was asking for several years, with the increased speed of the new port charging and syncing. Accessories but, unfortunately, were not helpful, though, costing significant money.

5. Applications will not open in full screen

Perhaps the most minor problem in this list. Yes, not all applications are optimized for a 4-inch screen iPhone 5, but it is, after all, a matter of time. Software is constantly updated list of applications that support the new screen, is growing every day: so that in this situation it is best to just wait.

And if you're not happy about this, we recall that the optimization is not just stretch the image to fill the screen as many people think, and in the serious work of rewriting the application - sometimes from scratch. After all, not only adds support for Retina, but many other features that offer iPhone 5.

WSJ: Apple reduces the volume of orders for screens for iPhone 5 "because of low demand"

Newspaper The Wall Street Journal, citing the Japanese Nikkei portal reports that Apple is almost halved the number of orders for release for the iPhone 5 because the demand for the device was below forecasts.

Initially, the American manufacturer was planning to I quarter of 2013 to receive about 65 million mobile panels from companies Japan Display, Sharp and LG Display, but Apple is supposedly addressed to partners with the application to reduce the volume of orders. According to the source, Japan Display at its plant in Ishikawa Prefecture in Japan will reduce its output components to 75% in comparison with the volume of IV quarter of 2012, while the Sharp factory in Mie Prefecture reduce the volume by 40%. Earlier last plant was busy producing mobile screens for smartphones Apple.

Some analysts do not share the belief in the WSJ that the decline in orders for displays for the iPhone 5 is due to "low demand" to the device. It can also talk about reducing the life cycle of "apple" of smartphones. According to some reports, Apple may introduce a new model of iPhone in the beginning of this year. This benefit is the fact that the company already did so with a full-size tablet iPad - the fourth generation of this device came nearly six months after the previous model. First manufacturer stood between updates about iPad annual pause.

According to rumors, Apple is considering using the phone in the next  iPhone 5S  brand new screens, manufactured by technology «touch-on-display». They are thinner, stronger and have a higher level of sensitivity to touch. If successful test panels will be tested in the laboratories of Apple, the company Innolux - manufacturer of a new generation of displays - will become a key supplier of Cupertino corporation.
