     'What you call iPhone 5 or New iPhone', that affects consumers is that it is compatible with the old battery charger or with the desktop dock.

It 's understandable that Apple has decided to equip the next iPhone and iPad a new connector, leaving a standard of almost ten years old, with a pin-out outdated in some respects. More reasonable to expect the presence of an adapter in the package of the next iPhone, which in most cases will continue to use the old accessories.
