Apple Lightning To 30-pin Adapter Goes On Sale For $35

Earlier today, Apple introduced its all new ‘Lightning’ mini dock connector which will be featured in iPhone 5 and 4″ iPod touch for the first time, replacing the old 30-pin dock connector. As promised, Apple has now listed a Lightning to 30-pin adapter on its website for sale, that will plug into the new iPhone and iPod touch’s 8-pin port allowing compatibility with older 30-pin accessories.

Here’s how the Apple online store describes it:

This adapter lets you connect devices with a Lightning connector to many of your 30-pin accessories.

* Video and iPod Out not supported.

*Some 30-pin accessories are not supported.

The accessory is compatible with iPhone 5, new iPod touch and new iPod nano and is being sold online for $35.

Thanks Anthony!

Price is too high. For something many of us are going to need multiples of that price is too high. I personally will want 2-3 of these. Having to spend over $100 in adapters is too much.

So essentially the adapter costs almost as much as the thing we’re adapting it to. Awesome. Count me in the “waiting for cheap copies from China” crowd.

Wow that’s big. Hope someone comes up with one that’s a heck of a lot thinner.

Check out the Auris project on Kickstarter for an interesting alternative to Apple’s adapter.
