Apple dock connector may match size of microUSB

The smaller 9-pin connector that will reportedly come with  the new iPhone is about the same size as a microUSB plug, claims a French blogging site.
Photos of a microUSB cable and photos of the new dock connector cable supplied by an anonymous source to the French site show the similarities between the two, most notably in size.
Rumors have floated over the past few months that Apple would reduce the size of the current 30-pin connector used on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod. Initial reports said the new size would use 19 pins, but later reports pointed to an 8-pin or 9-pin connector.
