The new iPhone lightning connector may break third-party adapters

Because of Apple's well-established ecosystem of speaker docks and other accessories, when the iPhone 5′s new connector adaptor was priced at $30, people were surprised, especially since the new Magsafe adaptor was only $10. Peter from Double Helix Cables has found a reason why: there's a new chip inside the Lightning connector, which he surmises is an authentication chip. Eric Limer at Gizmodo found a chip as well, but he can't confirm that it's an authentication system.
