iPhone 5S will come with Lightning to Micro USB Adapter.

Some one from china unboxed the 5S ahead of launch a took a picture of the back of the box and all the stuff that came with it. on the back it showed "Lightning to Micro-usb adapter" in english and it shows it clearly in the other shot! Heres the pics:

In Europe, maybe, where that's the new standard for cell phone plugs. I highly doubt we'll get those here in the US. At least not for free.

According to the UK Apple website it shows the following is in the box:


iPhone 5s with iOS 7
Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic
Lightning to USB Cable
USB Power Adapter

Why would Apple give us something for free that they could instead charge us for?

This is actually legally required in Europe whereas not legally required in the US. In the US you need to buy it...

Yeah but I was pointing out that there is no Lightning to Micro USB adapter listed on the UK Apple website where it mentions what's in the box with the 5s.

I'm annoyed that tiny little adapter is $20. I'm guessing they don't want to cannibalize the sale of regular lightning to USB cables.

They are still including the headphones free. That's definitely not something they need to do anymore.
