According to iMore, Apple will be updating its entire iOS product line to support the new Dock connector, rumored to be part of the next version of the iPhone.
So let's run down that list of products, just so you, the reader, can be aware:
- the new iPhone 5
- the new iPod nano
- the iPod touch
- the rumored iPad mini
- the updated version of the current 9.7in iPad
Don't fret, you won't have to go rushing out to buy new wires or immediately upgrade all your iProducts. iMore has also recently reported that Apple plans to sell a 30-pin adapter for the new smaller dock connector that will allow new iOS devices to work with old 30-pin accessories.
When is all this going to happen? Well, apparently Apple has plans for a media event on September 12, where it's thought they will introduce both the next-gen iPhone, as well as the iPad mini.
We've discussed various features that would work well for the next iPhone. Among the rumored features for the iPhone 5 include a larger 4 inch screen, a faster chip, 4G LTE networking, NFC capability, and that the phone itself would also be thinner, and lighter.
