First Pictures of Apple's New Mini Connector

Posted by timothy on from the ok-now-complain-about-it dept.

tad001 writes "The Daily Mail has pictures of Apple's new mini connector. The photograph, shared by French tech website nowhereelse.fr, shows two components, one of which is said to be similar to another apparently leaked picture of a part of the new iPhone. As well as the new dock connector, the part also seems to take in the headphone jack and the home button connector for the hotly awaited devices."

    No they won't. They provide an adapter which complies with the rules.

    No need for annecdotes. The spec says that the micro USB connector must be rated for at least 10,000 insertion/removal cycles.

    You can buy the connectors for pennies. There is more chance of the soldering or glue holding the copper layer of the PCB failing than the connector breaking. Similarly the cable will probably fray before the connector gets damaged.
