During a retail deployment, you must choose a payment-terminal accessory that docks directly to the charge/data port of every employee's iPhone 11 without requiring additional adapters. Which connection method must the accessory natively support to ensure compatibility with that model?
The iPhone 11 still relies on Apple's proprietary eight-pin Lightning connector for charging, data transfer, and accessory attachment. An accessory that offers a native Lightning plug can attach directly to the phone. USB-C is used only on certain iPad and newer iPhone 15 models, microUSB was never adopted by Apple handsets, and the 30-pin dock connector was phased out after the iPhone 4s. Therefore, Lightning is the only option that will fit and function without an adapter.
