A prototype of a Lightning breakout

Seen on eBay, a rather surprising find: a Lightning breakout board that apparently dates back to 2010.

For reference, breakout boards expose the various pins of a connector for testing connections, for example. According to the seller, it dates from 2010 (based on the serial number), which is significantly before the launch of the connector. Lightning was introduced with the iPhone 5 in 2012. It’s worth noting that the product number fits Apple’s usual conventions (920-2288-01).
