Well, ADC was killed when Apple realised it was unsustainable in the market. It wasn't actually a bad idea, combining power, signal and USB over one cable. 20/2

Well, ADC was killed when Apple realised it was unsustainable in the market. It wasn't actually a bad idea, combining power, signal and USB over one cable. 20/20 hindsight though.
This thins out the device, it improves the connector and it makes it more durable and it builds for the future, it's a good thing (in my eyes).
It takes you into a world where there's many dock connectors that don't work with your device, and if you're an iPhone 5 buyer then you deal with that. And saying 'they should have used Micro-USB' (in not so many words) would also break compatibility with the docks, so the only thing they could have done is not change anything, which is also a bad idea.
