I'm getting the iPhone 5 when it comes out and currently have an iHome that works for the iPhones/iPods now. Since the port is so much smaller, how to you suppose we will get it into the iHome??? Will the make a new port for it? I highy doubt they will make us buy a whole new iHome just for this iPhone, cause then other couldn't use it either! This is my major concern with then new iPhone D:

You can purchase an adapter for $29 from Apple directly, but it remains to be seen if it will work with your iHome since no one yet has the phone.
Connector is new lightning connector, you will need adaprter.
You can buy the adapter that costs $29 and it is great because you just slide the adapter on the 30 pin connector, and then slide your iphone 5 right on top of the adapter for a tight experience 😉 LOL
The adapter offered at a face-slapping $29 is NOT an acceptable solution! It DOES NOT provide the same secure, stable, clean connection to whatever existing dock you have for your iPhone 4S (or lower) and your iPods. My existing docks allow me to secure the iPhone/iPod down into a cradle which firmly holds it in place. The adaptor at a face-slapping $29 does NOT provide this. Apple has totally dissed their existing customer base by not providing a dual connection as a transition to this new technology. If you watch the unveiling video, they claim to be working with after-market companies to provide NEW docking sound stations, alarm clocks, etc. Well, what does that mean? Does it mean just throw out all the stuff you already have and re-invest 100's of dollars? Apparently, that's what Apple expects you to do. I t ' s W R O N G !
My husband & I just got the iphone 5's. We purchased 2 8 pin adapters. Our phones will not charge or play music on our Ihome, or our Bose radio. We had bought a Bose dock, and our other devices (ipods) work just fine. Why wont the iphone5 work?
How will the iPhone 5 fit into the old iHome?
