, Sep 14th 2012 Discuss [0]

Of course you won't be able to work with 4G LTE here with T-Mobile, and you'll have to purchase an unlocked iPhone 5, but you'll have to do what you must! Read The Full Story

Up until this point with Apple mobile products, only the iPad has been able to work as a USB host – in a limited way – with the 30-pin dock and an adapter that only works to push photos from your 3rd party camera to your tablet. An iPhone 5 report today comes from Macotakara in Japan where they’ve got some insight – but not quite final confirmation – that the new Lightning connector Apple has revealed this week has added to the iPhone the ability to work as USB host. With this ability it is possible that users would be able to use essentially any accessory with the device that you can connect with a USB cord – keyboards, cameras, and MIDI controllers, oh my!
