Standard 30 Pin Dock Connector On Iphone

Standard 30-pin dock connector has been around since 2003 on every iPod/iPhone (with the exception of Shuffle models). While I agree that Apple is notorious for changing form factors on a whim (ex. the headphone jack seems to switch sides with every generation of Nano), the physical connection itself has been pretty consistent. Apple have used the 30-pin connector since 2003, but many of the accessories that use that 30-pin connection will not function with the current iPods/iPhones. One glaring example is the older Apple Wall Charger will not work with their own current devices. So, if Apple turns its back on their own accessories, we know they won't hesitate to turn it on a third-party accessory.
