Apple will annoy millions of iPhone owners by including a new, smaller
connector in the next version of its iconic device, rendering current
accessories potentially obsolete, two sources have confirmed.
The iPhone 5, Apple's
next generation iPhone expected to go on sale around October, will come with
a 19-pin connector port at the bottom instead of the proprietary 30-pin port "to
make room for the earphone moving to the bottom", the sources said.
It would mean the new phone would not connect with the myriad of accessories
such as speakers and power chargers that form part of the ecosystem around
iPods, iPads and iPhones, without an adaptor.
