There's a feature of the old connector that I suspect the new skinny model is going to have trouble competing with; it was large enough to physically support the iphone vertically. I'm looking at my logitech sound dock and the only thing supporting the iphone is the connector. Maybe the thinner and lighter iphone5 will require less support but designs relying on what was probably an accidental feature will likely have to change to accommodate this. If that is the case it's a bit of a shame as there was something rather elegant about the way it could stand free. It allowed a minimalist appearance which resonated with apple's design values.
