iPhone to iPhone Wired Connect

025/365

I'm surprised no one has made an app or game or anything that requires two iPhones to be connected to each other with the 30 pin adaptor. I'm sure Apple has nixed that idea but why haven't the boys (and girls) of Cydia developed anything of this sort? Anything would be possible, for example: sharing a charge, transferring data, sharing media or even the first-ever iPhone nunchucks.

One drawback is that after preforming a simple google search doesn't seem that this hardware is being sold. Obviously that's because no one has a need for a male 30 pin to male 30 pin yet but that's not to say that a wiring diagram isn't out there.

This seems like one of those situations where supply does not meet demand because there is no demand being made. If a Cydia developer writes any of the subsequent examples any wiring company will jump on the chance to make the hardware. In the meantime early adopters will make their own.

Here are some ideas for developers:
  • Share battery life between Apple devises.
  • Data Transfer
  • Media Sharing (video, audio, books)
  • Gaming
  • Synced Processes
  • Share Video Timecode
  • Sync iPhone to iPad (my favorite)
