    Huh? It is. "[Apple will be] offering various new accessories to connect the Lightning port to both HDMI and VGA ports “soon.”

    Well I guess that's called an adapter too...
    I was thinking adapter as in something you plug into the end of your Lightning cable and then plug into your television.

    This is Apple. They don't do cheap adapters.

    I see your point though. If the adapter needs to include the digital to analog converter, it will be quite expensive.

    They just use cheap materials in there cables. I hate Apple's crappy wires, both headphone lines and USB cables always break.

    I wouldn't say they are worse than any other manufacturer's cables. They all use the same materials pretty much. The only difference is the profit margin.
