If Apple didn't produce an adapter, I can't imagine the backlash it would cause. I'm all for changing the dock if it leads to extra space for battery inside, improved charging speeds, etc, so I'm not one of those people screaming about how terrible this is. But if they really made all accessories obsolete by NOT producing an adapter...I would certainly not be buying any new Apple products in the new future.
But again, I can't see them not making an adapter. I only hope that one comes with the purchase of the new iPhone. And also that it's not too clunky.
I've seen some people suggest that the new dock might involve MagSafe...but I don't see that happening either. The point of MagSafe is to prevent accidentally tripping over/pulling on the cord and sending your laptop/tech onto the floor. Works great with MacBooks. But wouldn't an iPhone be too light for this? Even with MagSafe, I feel like a tug on the cord would still cause your iPhone to be pulled along, even if the MagSafe disconnects. Any thoughts on that?
