Apple is purportedly working on a new dock connector that would be much smaller and could help accommodate a thinner iPhone 5 form factor. But a new dock connector could mean a major headache for consumers — and still no micro USB or Thunderbolt connection.
Usually when we report on new rumored Apple innovations, it’s good news. However, with recent reports that Cupertino is working on a new micro dock connector for iOS devices that could replace the current standard model, it’s hard to imagine how this kind of innovation could benefit iPhone users in the short term.
9to5Mac is reporting that “while the current 30-pin dock connector on the iPods, iPads, and iPhones were serving Apple well for around 10 years, the company is now working on a new dock connector. Apple’s new dock connector will reportedly be a smaller version of the iOS device syncing and charging port, but it will not be micro-USB or Thunderbolt.”
