Will you be annoyed that Apple will be changing to a smaller connector slot in the next iphone?
Rumour is Apple will be changing their handset from a (bigger) 30 pin connector to a (smaller) 19 pin connector, effectively making all the accessories, chargers and docks obsolete!
There's apparently (according to Daily Mail) a mini rage going on from all the loyal Apple fans who buy everything Apple.
So is it a case of Apple ripping off the public or justified progress?!
Discuss.. :)

Anyway, I'm going to leave before the fan boys come a bashing.
"Manufacturers must also buy a special ‘authentication chip’ for some of their accessories, a move by Apple to cut down on unapproved accessories"
Excuse me Apple, oh mighty fruit. Is this so that people now have to pay £10-£15 for a little piece of copper wire instead of a more reasonable £1-£2 from other, more reasonable companies. Hmmmm
Yes, I have an S2. Better than an Iphone and they look after their customers. :)
Missing out on what?
Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Nokia have all changed connectors at some point. Apple has stood by theirs the longest after USB replaced firewire in iPods. If they do change then it would be good guess to expect thenext iPhone\iPod range to have slimmer form factors.
Would I be a little pee'd off, yes but it's progress and would happen some day. I was also annoyed when my C120 tapes with ripped off Top 40 recordings wouldn't fit in my cars CD player years ago. I'm still breathing.

Eh are there many Samsung stores where you can walk into and get an item replaced there an then? Apple are expensive and many people hate them. However they give customer service a target for other firms to envy.

What are you on about? Samsung use a standard mini-usb.
Apple & Microcon pee me off, big style.
