Apple Job Listing Add Weight to Possibility of a Dock Connector Redesign?

Apple is hiring for Connector Design Engineers adding weight to rumors that it plans to ditch the 30-pin dock connector, reports TechCrunch.

The Connector Design Engineer will be responsible for managing multiple connector designs and developments in support of the iPod product lines. Cross-functional development and consulting will be a major part of your daily work. As a Lead Engineer you be responsible for identifying appropriate connection technology requirements for new products and follow through with selection and development of suitable interconnect products. This will often involve adaptation of existing connectors or complete new designs. Interfacing with connector suppliers to direct and implement the necessary design changes or creation of completely new designs will also be a major part of your daily work.

Apple has two separate job listings for similar connector design positions.


Back in February, it was reportedly that Apple plans to ditch the traditional dock connector in favor of a smaller alternative. Recent images of purported iPhone 5 parts show a smaller connector.

That would be the dummiest thing Apple done in ages. Like redesigning USB-connector - what happens to millions devices, external speakers and shit if they redesign the connector? Back to square one...eh...
