Evidently there's a lot of truth to the change in the connector for the phone. I read a few articles last night and it's a bit outdated, with the newer and smaller ports being offered now.

Probably going to hurt sales a bit with the phone itself, as so many people have invested in expensive docks and speaker systems, etc. Lots of cars are still using the "old" 30-pin connector still. They'll probably have to offer an adaptor.
Accessory makers will be happy though.
