iPhone 5 - consumer groups have criticized the new smartphone

   
    The National Consumer Union (UNC) with a few months ahead of the launch has already begun to criticize Apple's next iPhone, due to the possible adoption of the new Micro Dock Connector accessories that make it unusable used so far, less than use an adapter.
     '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. We are awaiting clarification from Apple because it would be unacceptable to force buyers to buy back accessories such as a car battery charger, digital AV adapter, international adapter kit or cable connection to a PC, 'said the lawyer Massimiliano Dona, secretary general of the 'National Consumer Union (UNC).
     'We hoped that the hi-tech world had understood - says the lawyer - that you can not betray the trust of customers forcing them to purchase unnecessary long as they did in the past other manufacturers handsets like Motorola, Nokia or Samsung first the intervention of the new European legislation. In the case where the choice Apple was necessary for technical reasons, it would be reasonable to expect that the company grants a free change to all customers that will return the accessories that have been taken: if not, we are ready to start a class-action to protect consumers disappointed by this commercial practice '.
     Without wishing to deploy in support of UNC or Apple, in our opinion is decidedly out of place to claim the charge replacement of accessories with the old connector. 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decided to equip the next iPhone and iPad a new connector, leaving a standard of almost ten years old, with a pin-out outdated in some respects.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.
