I didn’t understand that either. They also just recently rendered the charger cords obselete as well. So older ones in perfect condition for an iPod now are useless. Go figure.

In what way? The charger still works with the iPod, iPhone, and the older cables are still available from Apple, Apple certified suppliers, and non-certified suppliers by the thousands any where from 99¢ to $10.00. So what's useless anywhere? Apple sells the Chargers, Cables, adapters and accessories in their stores, so what in hell are you complaining about? This is just ignorant FUD.

Technology marches forward. The Lightning interface is more efficient than the old 30-pin style, and it saves a relatively significant amount of real estate inside the phone's casing.
