Evidence mounts for iPhone 5 19-pin dock

The future looks set for Apple's new iPhone, with further reports emerging the device will have a slimmed-down 19-pin connector port.

Expected to go on sale around early October, Apple's next-generation iPhone will lose its traditional 30 pin port, reports Reuters, to make way for a newly-positioned headphone socket sitting alongside the port on the phone's underside. 

The inclusion of a slimmed-down port first began surfacing in May reports.

The move will likely cause annoyance to existing iPhone customers with proprietary accessories, but may be a boon for accessory manufacturers.

Apple declined to comment.

Below: the new configuration, as reported by 9to5Mac.
