New Dock Connector Would Be Huge Boon for iThingy Makers

Apple hasn't confirmed it, but rumors suggest that the iPhone 5, which will hit stores this October, will have a 19-pin connector port instead of the 30-pin connector it has had for years. The new connector will allow for a slimmer design and for the earphone to be moved to the bottom of the phone. "The rumor is that they're shrinking the existing connector to save space on the product, but there will still be a physical connector," said Avi Greengart, research director for consumer devices at Current Analysis.
