Apple's Lightning-to-HDMI Dongle Secretly Packed With ARM, Airplay

New submitter joelville writes "After noticing artifacts and a 1600 × 900 image in the output from Apple's new Lightning Digital AV Adapter, the Panic Blog sawed it open and found an ARM chip inside. They suspect that video bypasses the cable entirely and instead uses Airplay to stream three inches to make up for the Lightning connector's shortcomings."

    Wow, that makes it even more braindead, given how much more bandwidth you have in a wired network. Does it at least stream with better bitrate over a wired network?
