When Apple announced the new iPhone would come with a different dock connector there was some consternation amongst buyers. The adapter was then priced at ?25 which only made the matter worse in some peoples eyes.
Well it turns out, as first spotted by Matt Brian at The Next Web,?when buyers are going through the purchase process for the iPhone 5, they are told that a free Lightning to 30 pin adapter will be included. This is good news for anyone who needed to buy an adapter but was put off by the high price as this should go some way to resolving the potential headache.
Each additional standalone adapter will cost ?25/$29 ?and for one with a cable is ?30/$39. The cabled adapter should, in theory, allow you to still connect the iPhone to the majority of old accessories. The reason given for these adapters being pricier than you would expect is that there are components inside each of the adapters that have to process the work normally done by 30 pins down to just 9 pins.
We discussed the new dock connector on this week Podcast and I wrote an opinion piece on it also.
Update: The above message no longer appears when ordering a phone. It seems this may have only been for initial pre-orders. We?ll update further once we have confirmation.
