It is easy to \u2018jump the gun\u2019 and assume that this increase in revenue is their main motive for such a change. However, if we look at the history of Apple we can see various replacements in its technologies; for example, up until 2003 IPod\u2019s used a FireWire port. The replacement 9-pin connection is a natural progression to apple products. It can be characterized as \u201c\u2026a trade-off between some inconvenience now for increased convenience later.\u201d With the smaller 9-pin connection come faster transfer speeds, the ability to have audio\/video out but more importantly its reduction in size allows for a future of slimmer, better products.<\/p>\n<p>The replacement of the 30-pin may lead to a small increase in revenue from adaptor sales; however, it will benefit both the consumer and producer in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/arstechnica.com\/apple\/2012\/06\/op-ed-why-now-could-be-the-right-time-for-apple-to-ditch-the-dock-connector\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a repose to Rubin Chernenko\u2019s blog on October 9, 2012 titles Plug Problems.
