      Wha?

      AFAIK FireWire is part of the Thunderbolt protocol, you can get FireWire 800 to Thunderbolt adapters. Apple even used to sell one.

        Apple killed Firewire 4 years before Lightning came along.

              My current Macbook (M2 Air from 2022) can sync with my 4th gen iPod over FireWire if I have the right adapters.
