So the iPhone 5 Dock is out...
...and it pretty much costs the same as the iPhone 5. 399 Euros!!
What is that about? Surely people will just use bluetooth? |

it will come down in price as its offical release is in june, i think the best part of the dock for me is that it connects to the shark fin for better reception & offcourse ncie place to keep the fone when driftin around

Link with the part number and does not support video playback
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=814703 In that case instead of spending that much the following mod makes sense and can use the present adapter itself? http://guy.shechter.org/2012/12/12/b...pter-iphone-5/

I don't believe Apple ever presented aerial connections via the docking connector.

I think that's auto-suggestion as that's impossible. There was no aerial presentation on the older 30-pin connector either, just charging, analogue and digital audio and part of the data bus so other devices could control the iPhone / iPad / iPod.
Also, for technical reasons (known as SWR or Standing Wave Ratio) you could not easily extend the aerial to the shark-fin in any case.

Actually yes, that would be possible. I don't know if it does or not, but that might explain the ridiculous price for the adaptor.

That's what I've read but still doesn't justify the price!
