A photo of a purported 'iPhone 5' USB to mini dock connector cable has surfaced online, reports iLounge.
The cable appears to be highly similar to past Apple cables, with a full-sized USB plug on one end and what appears to be Apple's newly shrunken 8-pin connector on the other. Veister is a Shenzhen, China-based accessory vendor, but the cable has yet to appear on the company's site. It is unclear whether the part shown is a replacement cable or a genuine Apple part with pre-production markings.
Previous leaks have shown the port for the new dock connector.

Why does everyone make such a big deal of it charging port? the charging port of the phone could remain the same but as it is now, but if the Style of the phone doesn't change, Iphone 5 will be a great failure in my book.

I don't know about this. Even though the cable is coiled it looks like it would be longer than the standard size cable apple issues its customers. I took my iphone and ipod cable out and it only goes around 4 times. i know im putting a lot of thought into this but i smell fake.

Looks like it's real! No more rumors. I was wondering what happened to all that product secrecy. Jobs' ghost must be upset right now!
