Apple will reportedly provide an adapter to convert between the current 30-pin dock connector and the rumored smaller 19-pin dock connector said to debut with the 'iPhone 5', according to iMore.

iMore reached out to the original sources that gave us the new Dock connector story way back in February just to make doubly sure -- and yes, there will be an adapter for the iPhone 5's smaller Dock connector that will let it work with many of the accessories designed for the old 30-pin Dock connector.

We haven't heard if one will be included in the box along with the iPhone 5, or will only be sold separately, but either way, come October, you'll be able to get a new-to-old Dock adapter from Apple.

Earlier today Reuters confirmed reports that the new iPhone will feature a smaller 19-pin dock connector.
