Apple's new dock connector

We've all go to agree that the 30 pin connector on the bottom of our iOS devices is quite large compared to it's android and other smartphone counterparts using MicroUSB port. The 30 pin connector is quite large anyway for a charger port anyway, it takes up most of the devices width and it's not good for other iOS devices like the little iPod nano. Well the public aren't the only people that agree with this. Apple could be releasing a Dock connector to change the face of how we charge future iOS devices.

First i'd like to state that about a year ago there was rumours that apple would switch for a smaller pin connector and for many many months we stuck with the 19-pin connector to have more space within the iOS device and try to stuff more battery life and more nuts and bolts into the device. Well now i think we've got a confirmed new connector and it's not going to be the 19 pin connector that we originally thought it's going to be a small 9 pin connector. I'm not sure what the size comparison it is to the MicroUSB input. Here's a video of the phenonmon.


Apple doesn't usually slip up like this, when have apple ever slipped on something like this. usually everything that has apple brought out with is usually the time and place they want to announce it. sure you've got gizmodo has the iPhone 4 prototype but i'm not getting into that because it's so old and nobody cares about the iPhone 4 anymore.

A lot of you might be asking yourself it's only a charger port, well it is but with this new details we can predict what apple have got in stores of us with their new idevices.

Just look at the compatibilty section of the video, It shows that the dock connector with be compatible with the iPhone 6th generation, iPod touch 5th generation, iPod nano 7th generation, iPad 3rd generation and Oh... What's this? A smaller iPad... could this be the famous 7 inch iPad that we've been talking about for ages? could this be a direct competitor towards the Kindle fire and the nexus 7... I think so
