I believe it was later confirmed that Apple's going to sell the dock
connector adaptor for $29.95.

Subject: A few new iPhone 5 features which have not been mentioned much

 

Hello List,

 

I don't think I came across many posts who mention a few additional iPhone 5
changes/improvements. First, the iPhone 5 has a new 9 PIN connector. This
means if you have a music dock or even the Apple iPhone dock and iPhone
cables you will not be able to use any of them with a new iPhone 5. Cables
you can use if you buy an adapter, but I don't think this would work well
for sticking your iPhone onto a dock. I think especially for some who have
purchased expensive players like a Bose Soundlink or similar this
"improvement" is not so cool. I would consider it an improvement though
simply because I get the feeling the much smaller connector will be more
stirdy and one very nice feature is the fact that it's reverseable which
means it doesn' matter which way around you stick it in, it fits either way.

 

Second, the iPhone 5 now has its headphone jack at the bottom where the dock
connector is. Apple did not mention this specifically, but apparently Rob
from the Today in iOS Podcast did confirm this.

 

Third, a new iOS 6 camera feature (at least for the iPhone 5 and 4S) allows
you to take a photo while you are recording video. Maybe not so much a
feature many of us would use, but I think it's a nice feature as there might
be a scene you want to capture as a photo while you are recording a video,
now you can without stopping your video recording.

 

Lastly, I found it interesting that Apple did not mention the Podcast app
and none of the comments I read where people were naming apps visible on the
home screen during the event mentioned it either. I also just looked on the
apple.com website under "iPhone" and "Built In Apps" and Podcasts was not
mentioned unless I missed it. I have the feeling that this may not even be
part of the initial iOS 6 release since Apple's Podcast app has shall we say
received less than favourable reviews and ratings. Maybe they will work on
it some more and get it right before they force it down everybody's throat.

 

 

Best regards,

Sieghard
