Lightning to 30-pin adapter

For users that can't ditch all of their old iPhone accessories during the upgrade to the iPhone 5, the Lighting to 30-pin Adapter is a good iPhone 5 accessory to add to the shopping list.

This adapter lets users connect the iPhone 5 to accessories designed for the older iPhone. It supports analog audio out, USB audio as well as syncing and charging the iPhone. It does not support iPod Out, which some users will miss as it allows in-car stereos to control the iPhone.

This compact version retails for $29.99, and is designed for use with an existing cable or with some accessoires that can support an iPhone 5 with an adapter at the bottom.

Apple also offers a $39.99 Lightning to 30-pin Adapter with a .2m cable. This is a good fit for users that want to set the iPhone on a stand and plug the cable into a speaker system without stressing the connector.
