Apple's iPhone 5 will arrive with a free Lightning to 30-pin adapter, after all (update: maybe not!)

Apple's iPhone 5 will arrive with a free Lightning to 30-pin adapter, after all (update: maybe not!)

If you were miffed at having to pay $29 to adapt your existing iPhone accessories to the iPhone 5's newfangled Lightning connector, fear not: Apple will throw in the first adapter, gratis. Extras will still run the aforementioned sum, which Cupertino has justified by saying the units will include chips to enable features like analog and USB audio along with syncing and charging. There's also a $39 cable version available, but neither format will let you output HDMI or VGA video - there's more (as yet unpriced) adapters coming for that. Update: Well, the plot thickens.
