1. Seek Compact Pro FF with Lighning oder USB-C? / 2. ...with PC Software Ther..

Hello, I am planning to purchase a thermal imaging camera

Seek Compact Pro FF

This camera is available with Lightning and USB-C connection.

I only have iPhones at home and that's actually why I tend to order the Lightning version of the camera.

From September 2023, it seems, Apple will be equipping all iPhone devices that will be launched in the future with USB-C (probably a little slimmed down at least in 2023).

I have 2 questions:


1. If I buy a camera with USB-C now (February 2023), will it work with the USB-C-iPhones? (Of course, the item description of the camera with USB-C does not say anything about iPhones at the moment).

2. You should not only be able to operate these cameras on a mobile phone as a display, but also with the PC as a screen using the "Thermovision" software, completely without a mobile phone.


Does anyone know whether the USB-C or Lightning variant would be better suited for this?


I would be very happy to hear your thoughts on this.

Thanks in advance.

Lightning version have one more chip inside,something related to MFI (made for iphone)
If they still use that when switching to  USB C then you need lightning version or add missing IC on board.
But also they can switch to MFI gen 3 or 4 or ... then older chip can't authenticate so it's useles for new devices but works on older with lightning.

Seek Compact Pro USB-C doesn't work on iphone 15 pro as of today. Hope they can make it work by updating the app.

Good news. I have the Seek Thermal Pro with lightning connector.
Apple’s (new?) Lightning to USB-C connector works perfectly on iPad Pro with USB-C, because it also allows data to be passed, unlike most such adaptors (I know, I’ve tried many before)
