Want to dock your new iPhone 5 into your existing iPod speaker system? That'll cost you £25. Per device.
Apple's decision to scrap the 30-pin dock connector in favour of a significantly smaller "Lightning" alternative is a controversial one. On the one hand, it arguably helped the company shrink the size of its new phones. But on the other, it renders all existing iPhone-docking accessories redundant.
To bridge the gap, Apple has released a 30-pin-to-Lightning dock adapter -- but it's charging £25 for it. If you have a speaker system in the bedroom, kitchen and living room, that could cost you £75 to bring them all up to date. That's going to be a hard pill to swallow for many people.
