iiNet’s iPhone 6 plans are a popular option for those looking for the best of the current generation iPhone experience, but many longtime iPhone owners are surprised to find their old accessories no longer work with their new iOS devices. The original 30-pin platform, a wide, flat input that was the standard charger and USB style for years, provided a reasonably reliable connection between iOS devices and charging or power sources, but was not without significant flaws.
30-pin connections were unidirectional, meaning they only worked if inserted into the device in a specific direction, and they also degraded over time with many ceasing to work during their projected working lifespan. To address these issues, Apple developed the proprietary Lightning charger as a superior alternative and introduced it with the release of the iPhone 5.
