Wouldn't it technically be an 16-pin adaptor, 17 if you count the whole thing as one, since it's reversible and there's pin's on both sides?
Nope.
The 8 pins on the bottom are the same 8 pins on the top. And the phone itself only connects to one side or the other.
Probably about 6 months, Apple have done all the hard work in developing the concept after all
I wonder why this wasn't introduced with the new iPad. I guess they wanted to keep this "feature" for the iPhone 5 and then add it as a "feature" to the newer iPad.
I just wish it also introduced faster transfer rates.

I think the problem with the iPhone 5 is that it doesn't feel like a stellar leap. The biggest changes are on the inside and this isn't really that tangible to your average consumer.
But isn't it incredibly OBVIOUS that this is the only way to design a cable?
*yawn*. I suppose it takes a bit more to get me excited. It's not like they found a new way to split the atom. Probably took an engineer a half day with his white board to map this out and make it so. I don't think this is very ground breaking and believe just like with anything it sounds a lot "cooler" and over-complicated when someone who likes to hear themselves talk explains it. Now make each connection with an encoded magnetic field and not a physical connection and I may be a bit more impressed. Until then, it's a basic evolution of a plug.
I don't really understand why so many people focus on "faster transfer rates" of the cables used by iOS devices when wireless syncing has been available for a year or so.I just wish it also introduced faster transfer rates.
Can we get back to how Apple's lazy designers don't do anything now? Please?
Unlike Samsung, which is super busy innovating stunning new ways to silently remote wipe phones with HTML.
Read the article. The pins are continuous from one side to the other.
