Notice the 2.0 there?


Yes, and? Lightning 2.0. Sure. That doesn't mean the physical interface changes. That doesn't mean there isn't backwards compatibility. That doesn't mean there isn't forwards compatibility. "And thats where all this future proof talk goes deaf" argument made no statements to support itself. "Meanwhile, Lightning still has the same bandwidth" is like saying "Meanwhile, USB still has the same bandwidth with USB 2.0 as it did with USB 1.0". There will be higher bandwidth Lightning 2.0 peripherals with Lightning 2.0 devices; but Lightning 1.0 peripherals will still be compatible. The Lightning interface doesn't establish some sort of permanent bandwidth cap to its future backwards-compatible revisions.
