I believe it was later confirmed that Apple's going to sell the dock connector adaptor for $29.95.
From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2012 10:01 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com 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.
