iPhone 5 Might get a smaller dock connector

The Following is nothing but a rumor right now, so taking it with a grain of salt is highly advisable. It is said That future iPhone, iPad, and iPod models may get a redesigned dock connector, the which will be smaller than the current one. The so-called "micro dock" will not be present on the iPad 3, but will very Likely the make its way to the iPhone 5 (or whatever these two devices end up being called) According to the sources.

While a redesigned dock connector will inevitably render a whole plethora of iPhone and iPad accessories incompatible with newer models, it will allow for more valuable to be freed up space inside of them. And that extra space is always more than welcome as it allows for more chips, larger camera sensors, and bigger batteries to be fitted without changing the overall dimensions of the device. That is the reason why Apple ditched the Mini-SIM card Replacing it with a Micro-SIM card on the iPhone 4, and took the smartphone's antennas on the outside, instead of keeping them on the inside.
