iPhone 5: Why Lightning connector rather than a micro USB?

Apple's decision to drop the old 30-pin connector and implement a new one, but still the owner, gave rise to a wave of discontent. We are talking about extra costs for users and detrimental to the environment.

It is obvious that Apple had to change the old connector into the fulfillment of devices becoming more compact and thinner. As for the 3.5-inch screen, the classic 30-pin connector was obsolete and need an upgrade. But instead insist on a proprietary design, Apple could make a move that would bring real benefits to users and do like most companies in the mobile phone industry - to adopt standard micro USB. Lightning connector is similar in size, so Apple would be able integrate it seamlessly in the case of iPhone 5.

Benefits of a universal connector for all mobile devices are major not just for users, who no longer have to throw money on chargers and adapters, and the environment. Companies would limit the consumption of natural resources used to build a large range of products of this type and landfills would not be filled with the plastic from the exceeded chargers.

We have understand Apple's preference for an proprietary connector if Lightning would provide the benefits of a particular technology, as it does Thunderbolt, which boasts ultra fast transfer speeds. The 8-pin connector present on the iPhone 5 is quite commonplace that probably has does not even have the benefits of USB 3.0 transfer.

Why Apple did not pass it to micro-USB? Well, we can not stop thinking about financial explanations. By launching the 8-pin connector Apple has created some new accessories and adapters that most likely, the user will purchase at not very small prices.
