If Apple does, in fact, have a new plug in the bottom of its next iPhone, car kits, and other third-party accessories won't be left in the dust thanks to an adapter, according to a new report.


Citing the same sources that gave it the hint about a smaller, pill-shaped adapter earlier this year, iMore says Apple will have an adapter ready to go with the launch its next iPhone that lets the new plug work with the existing 30-pin accessories.


As iMore points out, Apple offered a similar adapter with the introduction of its newer MagSafe power technology last month. The newer plug model was made thinner to follow design cues from the company's updated notebook line. That adapter, which Apple sells for $9.99, is currently included as a free pack-in in the company's 27-inch Thunderbolt Display.
