Although the iPhone 5 hit stores early this morning, those who waited in line were unable to purchase an adapter to go with the device’s new Lightning connector. Apple told Mashable that adapters — which will allow users to connect the new charger to accessories that support the previous one — aren’t yet in stores, but should be rolled out “soon.” No specifics were given on when they might be made available. Unlike previous chargers, the new Lightning is an eight-pin, all-digital connector. Read the full story at Mashable.
