New connector is called Lightning and they have switched to doing more wirelessly. Here's how they are selling it.



I think it is simply planned obsolesence which insures more sales on accessories, but I may be skeptical. :-)

I expect one will come with the new phone right? If so not a big deal then.

10:45AM - Scott’s now showing iCloud tabs. Old news if you’re Chrome-inclined, though. Still, kinda neat. And now he’s on to VIPs in mail. Old news if you’re Sparrow-inclined, though.

I do like they expansion of face time. Generally when I want to use it I'm not using WiFi.

“We’ve taken FaceTime beyond WiFi, now you can use it wherever you are… These are just 10 of the over 200 new features in iOS 6, and we think you’re going to love it.”

I have to say the thickness of my iPhone 4 has never been an issue for me.

Love this statement!

10:55AM - Mansfield: “I don’t think the level of invention has ever been matched by any other product we’ve done.” Yeah, but you guys always say that.
