It does add an extra cm or so to the base of the phone so it might not be possible to use it in every dock, but it should work with all your old chargers etc http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter -Mart On 13/09/2012, at 10:41 AM, Lynn Koh <lynn...@westnet.com.au> wrote: > Hi ronni and all > > those who are thinking of upgrading to iphone5, think about all the $ you > will save from getting it, as you will need to get adaptors for all your > devices you got for your iphone4(s). > > Looks like ill only upgrade to iphone4s when the time comes in a couple of > months. taller and lighter doesnt make a huge difference to me, but the > adaptor does. > > regards > lynn > > P/S: now that iphone5 announcement is out, any rumours of iphone5s or > iphone6? i can wait a couple years for the next one, providing that they are > the original charge port. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Ronda Brown" <ro...@mac.com> > To: wamug@wamug.org.au > Sent: Thursday, 13 September, 2012 10:09:56 AM GMT +08:00 Beijing / Chongqing > / Hong Kong / Urumqi > Subject: Re: Apple event roundup > > I notice the SIM card is a Nano-SIM...
