iPhone 8 will not have a Lightning connector, but USB-C!

The new iPhone (whether it will be called iPhone 8, time will tell) will have to wait until September 2017, and rumors about the successor of the iPhone 7 model are increasing day by day.

HyperDrive USB-C connector: "fifty shades" of connectors for MacBook Pro

USB-C may be becoming the standard, but as long as you have a bunch of devices in your home that rely on other types of connectors, you can't help it much if you don't have a connector conversion adapter. The MacBook Pro notebook is, as far as this is concerned, extremely 'discriminating', as it only has a USB-C input. That's why the Hyperdrive was created, which returns to the Apple laptop all those connectors and slots that we used at home until now.

The SanDisk Ultra Fit 3.0 is the world's smallest 128GB USB flash drive

The question of where SanDisk put 128 GB of space in its new Ultra Fit USB flash drive is similar to the "rhetorical" question from the anecdote about the four elephants and Fičot. Two in the front and two in the back. Although it seems physically impossible, SanDisk has managed to create a USB stick that is only slightly larger than a USB connector. And since cloud storage hasn't killed the need to store on a USB memory stick, SanDisk's Ultra Fit 3.0 will win you over.

Google Chromebit - Chromebook as a USB stick

Google surprised like a bolt out of the blue with the Chromebit mini computer system, which is "published" as a USB stick and with the ability to turn any screen into a Chromebook. Although miniature in size, they managed to cram all the necessary electronics into the equivalent of a Chromebook, which the Chrome OS mobile operating system needs to function. It will serve as a platform, i.e. it will be available to other manufacturers, as is already the practice with Chromebooks.
