Apple's authentication for its new Lightning connector has been reportedly cracked allowing third party companies to manufacturer accessories without approval from Apple.
Apple will reportedly dub its new mini dock connector 'Lightning', its new headphones 'Earpods', and will release a new 'Loop' accessory for the iPod touch.
