What happens when you change one port? Quite a lot, actually. Apple introduced the 30-pin iPod port on April 28, 2003. That makes the technology - a fairly streamlined solution for 2003 - nine years old and, thanks to the iPhone's popularity, essentially ubiquitous. Now, however, as news leaks about either a 19- or 9-pin overhaul of the technology, there's something important to consider: the install base of 30-pin devices is wild and deep and a simple change could create an e-waste problem if not properly handled.To be clear: this new pin layout is coming and it's coming soon. Whether it arrives in this generation or the next still remains to be seen, the sources I reached out to agreed that the switch was imminent.
