We use Wi-Fi. To for example use -- airplay -- TP of course stereo. We can do Wi-Fi syncing -- iTunes now.
Best of all the iPod can download -- our content wirelessly and even back up to the clock.
So we'll lot's changed and it's time for the connector to a -- that's just a car.
Our new connector. Is called lightning. And now we have thunderbolt and lightning and are connected --
This connector is a modern connector for the next decade all digital -- signal design.
It's adapted to what -- signals need to be for the different accessories you might put into.
It's more durable in much easier to use is now you can plug in either direction it doesn't matter.
And best of all the engineering team to make a product like this it's ED percent smaller. It's a huge difference the world's thinnest Smartphone.
