Published

on

Just a day after we heard that Apple had begin shipping pre-orders, the company’s 30-pin to Lightning Adapter has begun arriving for those that pre-ordered the accessory when the iPhone 5 went on sale.

Those who pre-ordered the extremely sought after accessory at launch have begun to see the 30-pin to Lightning Adapter show up on their doorsteps. The device allows users that have devices with the new Lightning dock port like the iPhone 5 and the new iPod touch to use those devices with accessories that still use the 30-pin dock standard.This is essential for those that own expensive audio accessories that may not work now that the iPhone 5 has shifted to a smaller dock connector.

The company currently sells the adapter in two different versions, one, a $29.99 adapter that will plug in directly and a $39.99 adapter that makes use of a short cable.

It seems that the adapter is arriving for at least some people in the United States as well as one user who pre-ordered the adapter at launch confirmed that the adapter arrived today. He lives in Michigan and shared a photo of the adapter which can be seen below.

iPhone 5 accessories have been scarce this year at Apple Stores with the company still not providing any iPhone 5 cases in its retail stores. The company has not said whether it will offer cases though at this point.

The iPhone 5 launched with the new dock port but it may not be alone. Apple is rumored to be adding the new Lighting connector on the new iPad, with a re-launch possibily coming later this year.

Apple’s new iPhone 5 also features a new 4-inch display, 4G LTE data speeds, improved cameras, iOS 6, and more.
