Apple Reveals New iPhone Connector Port

• lukeholder 14y ago
  I think the 30-pin dock connector has been one of those things that apple has really tried to keep around as long as possible. I have a feeling the new doc connector will be based on thunderbolt/displayport dimensions. this is the leak in question: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4arEyxLGyVE&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4arEyxLGyVE&feature=relat...

  Apple, if you're going to change the connector please switch to standard micro usb!

    I don't think that one is in the cards at all. But it would be nice!

    USB is only 4 wires. The 30 pin connector has a lot more signals available than that: http://pinouts.ru/PortableDevices/ipod_pinout.shtml http://pinouts.ru/PortableDevices/ipod_pinout.shtml Yes, you can sync and charge the device using only the USB wires, but some accessories use the others.

  Very skeptical about this -- mostly because not only is the connector different, but the headphone jack has moved from the top of the phone to the bottom.
