Another authoritative publication has made a declaration that the iPhone 5, expected this fall, will receive the new dock. As reported by Reuters19-pin port next smart phone Apple will be less in size than the connector with 30 pins, which is used in modern models of iPad, iPhone and iPod. The interface would allow Apple to move the audio headphone jack on the bottom of the device.

 

Previously, this innovation has already been rumors. It is assumed that simultaneously with the launch of its sixth phone model Apple will officially unveil the new standard, which is close in size to the Thunderbolt.
