Next iPhone 5 to Include Newly Designed Smaller 19-Pin Port [Rumour]
We’ve long heard about the next generation ‘iPhone 5’ to have a smaller dock connector (via iMore). iLounge also earlier reported their sources noted a smaller 16-pin dock connector. Now, TechCrunch has boldly claimed they have ‘independently verified’ the next iPhone will come with a smaller 19-pin port:
