Apologies if this has been posted, I did try a search first.

Rumours are that Apple are going to change the charging/ docking port to different pin combinations.

Will B&O Produce anything in order to stand new products in the Beosound 8 dock or iPort? Leads are a good idea but no for a dock.

I have also been thinking about this. Especially regarding the Beoplay A8. Since the dock is removable they could start to sell a new dock which would not change the esthetics of the speaker and one could simply swap docks depending on which device one is using.

With the Beosound 8 they could introduce an adaptor from the existing 30-pin connector to the new (19-pin?) connector and if they do not, other companies probably will (apple being one). This would however be visible...
