iPhone 5 has changed the Accessories Ecological Circle


Although Apple didn't make too many ads in the interface, but 30 needle Dock interface has become the standard of Apple portable equipment in the past few years.

Since the first generation of iPod published, Apple interface line's change is very little and keeps unifying specification. Many other mobile phone products' charger and data line have changed in constant and some are even just one line for one phone. Stable iPhone accessories have been liked by manufacturers in the market.

Relying on Apple, peripheral products manufacturers formed a huge ecological circle. But the ecological circle has a big "unrest" because of the new iPhone interface's small change. And even the small manufacturer's fate is at stake.

Apple's peripheral products including Apple charging base, Apple speakers, iPhone cases and many other species create at least a $1.3 billion market every year. Apple traditional interface design has been used by more than 600 million iPod, iPhone and iPad, and has adopted by tens of thousands of third party accessories manufacturers.

The insider says, when the manufacturers of speakers, base, car chargers and other iPhone accessories see apple-this big cake, most of them choose to use Dock interface. Working with all Apple portable equipment, Apple firmly controls peripherals manufacturers.

In the past, manufacturers that obtained authorization management "Apple" accessories should pay related fees to Apple Company, including mobile power supply, Bluetooth keyboard/headset, all kinds of converter, data line, etc. With data line as an example: they should pay 5 ~ 6 dollars to Apple Company for each data line.

Apple executives clearly know this, because Apple itself also sells products accessories and keeps the good relationship with the third party accessories manufacturers. The sources are revealing that according to Apple authorized plan, in order to get the Apple's official approval, the third party manufacturers need to pay $4 authorized expenses for Apple when they sell one accessory. Moreover, Apple is also very concerned to product accessories market. In a lawsuit of 2010, Apple has said that some unauthorized iPod cable. Charger and speakers exist suspected of patent infringement.

iPhone 5 interface becomes smaller which is the mission given by innovation for Apple company. In order to keep strong vitality, they must do "pursuing new and requiring change". The small change perhaps will change a solid year of ecological system.
