- An engineer has added a Lightning port to an Android phone.
- The phone is able to charge and conduct data transfers via the Apple port.
- The same engineer previously added a USB-C port to an iPhone.
An enterprising engineer grafted a USB-C port onto an iPhone late last year, making for a welcome upgrade over Apple’s Lightning connector. However, this same engineer has now gone in the other direction.
Kenny Pillonel posted a video showing what he calls the first Android phone with a Lightning port (h/t: Engadget), adding the connector to a Samsung Galaxy A51. The tinkerer added that the port does indeed support charging and data transfers.
