  • Apple formalizes 8-pin 'Ultra Accessory Connector' for switching headphones from Lightning...

    Maybe I am missing something here. But, I understand what this is. At least I think I do. Most high end headphone already have something similar to this. This is an interconnect standard for users to be able to easily change the cables in use with their headphones. Since there are three standards in use right now, USB-C, lightning, and the old analog, a common interconnect on the other end of the headphones to make it easier to change cables. One end is this new connector and connects to the headphones, the other end would be either lightning (presumably with an AMP/DAC in the cable) or USB-C, or even the old analog connector. Standardized interconnect for the side of the cable on the headphone side is a good idea.
