When the iPad Pro was released on September 12 last year, it was also equipped with a dedicated keyboard cover called Smart Keyboard. Although this keyboard cover is not only a matter of price (the iPad will look asymmetrical when it is covered), but also the first zero point in the history of iFixit (meaning "unable to repair"), there is nothing too Big sound. But the Smart Connector, which debuted with the Smart Keyboard, sparked some curiosity. Next MFi certification? Smart Connector This clean connector is only mentioned for one purpose in Apple's official website: it allows data and power to be transferred between the iPad Pro and the Smart Keyboard. Structurally speaking, it is a bit like a magnetic point that allows the Smart Keyboard to absorb. No need for Bluetooth, no pairing, no wires and switches, just type "suck up" to type. However, Apple is unlikely to design a new set of connectors into the product just because of the keyboard, just like the mysterious four holes on the Apple Watch, obviously pointing to the new digital Apple Watch strap. Therefore, it is more likely that Apple wants to establish a new set of MFi-like third-party accessories ecosystem in business, technology and product experience, but also to look at its convenience and beauty, and want to share Bluetooth Working with Lightning holes does not even rule out replacing them in the future. Smart Connector to be improved In view of this, Logitech has introduced a third-party keyboard cover called CREATE Backlit for connecting to the iPad Pro. In addition, Logitech also launched a LOGI Base Dock, which is used as a stand for the iPad Pro, while charging the iPad Pro via the Smart Connector. The peculiarity is that these two products are not only the world's only third-party accessories connected to the iPad Pro via Smart Connector, Logitech also revealed that these two products are actually developed in close cooperation with Apple. Obviously, Apple is still cautiously pushing this connector, perhaps because there are still some development tools and hardware technology that have not yet been piled up, making Apple hope to build a third-party ecosystem later. After all, the mission of iPad Pro The slogan has always been a replacement for the PC, and the Smart Connector has to serve this purpose. In order to move toward this goal carefully, Apple seems to be planning to use its own approved equipment, including Apple's own official accessories - in other words, Apple implies the immaturity of Smart Connector. Second generation Smart Connector However, at the end of this year, a patent submitted by Apple illustrates the future of Smart Connector. At present, there are many connectors that have the function of transmitting power and data, such as the common USB or Apple's own Lightning. Although these connectors are convenient to spread, they generally have a disadvantage: they are space-consuming and inconvenient. This is a heavy burden for IoT products, or mobile phones that are more and more valuable in space. It also limits the innovation of appearance. Even switching to wireless transmission, such as the very popular Bluetooth, has the disadvantage of energy consumption. While the current Smart Connector can solve these problems, it has the problem of slow charging and transmission of data (so charging with LOGI Base Dock is better than using Lightning directly). The new technology on Apple's patent is a second-generation Smart Connector based on OpTIc CommunicaTIon. In addition to improving the shortcomings of the current Smart Connector, optical communication has the biggest advantage for Apple, which is obsessed with appearance, to make connectors that are almost invisible, similar to the FaceTIme lenses that are currently cleverly hidden on the MacBook. Therefore, the future iPad may benefit from the new Smart Connector, which becomes a true one-piece, without any holes. In addition, the new Smart Connector in the patent has an important feature: wireless charging. According to the end of the patent, Apple intends to gradually expand to the iPhone and Mac after launching the iPad with this new connector. Maybe after transferring the data, just touch the flash drive or iPhone to the Mac and touch it.
Industrial Drone difference as the entertrainment drones, It is for some application purpose. Such as Security Patrol Drone, Inspection Drone ,Fire Extingurisher Drone ,Heavy payload Logistics Drone etc. Because these drones has different applications so they have different Drone Frame ,propulsion system, Drone Flight Controller and equipments. Usual long flight time, long distance control range request. Configration of Ground Control Station, Videolink Datalink, Zoom Camera , Gimbals etc.
