Lightning接口诞生于 2012 年，支持正反插都可以正常工作，在当时，这一接口的推出无疑是一大进步。然而，十年后，在数据传输技术突飞猛进的今天，苹果仍然在坚持使用这一接口。

近日，欧盟统一充电接口的新规，也让苹果站在了风口浪尖，因为苹果一直是统一充电接口的反对者。

苹果给出的理由是，一是通过行政指令强制行业采用同一种充电规格将会阻碍创新，而更应该让市场来选择采用何种充电接口，多元的充电规格和协议后续可能会发展出更多、更先进的充电设备；二是环保，现有的Lighting配件与通用的标准不兼容，而目前市场上不同行业比如乐器调音外设、DJ 外设等音乐领域还有大量的外设设备，以及旧的苹果存量设备，一旦切换新的充电接口，这些设备势必会被抛弃，就有的充电设备也将面临淘汰，对环境造成危害。

不过，更为重要的是，单这条产业链就给苹果带来了巨大的利益，通过收取 MFi（Made For iOS）授权认证费，每年带来的利润可能超过百亿元人民币，这可能才是最重要且更深层次的原因。

While Google is undeniably the largest search engine by far and enjoys a near-monopoly, Microsoft has an alternative called Bing. This has slowly but steadily improved and offers some cool features for gamers.
A prime example of this is that you only get Microsoft Reward points through the search engine, which you can redeem for gift cards. Now there’s another pretty handy feature that’s being added. If you’re signed into your Xbox account and are a Game Pass subscriber, you’ll have the option to start a game with just one press of a new Play button if you’re looking for them (if the title supports it).
We tried this ourselves and it seems to work like a charm. Searching for Forza Horizon 5 with Bing directly gives us the play button and when we press it we are thrown onto the streets of Mexico, right where we left off.
