Apple unveiled the iPhone 5 in September 2012. It was bigger, faster, and more powerful than its predecessor, but how it charged may have been the most revolutionary change. The 30-pin connector that has been on every iPhone up until this point would be replaced with a tiny new port named Lightning, according to Apple marketing executive Phil Schiller, who made the announcement on stage to unveil the new phone. Lightning appeared to be reversible, compact, and robust—everything its predecessor and rivals were not. Schiller described it as "a modern connector for the next decade."
