Yes, that's my point. CAC-card reading sled cases for Iphones and Ipads are imminent and will be a high volume item for DoD. If Apple keeps changing them every 1 or 2 years (plugs or form factors or size like the upcoming Ipad Mini, or all of the above), that's a problem.

Or if folks are looking to purchase these things for official use it's relevant to discuss how often they change, what's their business model, and why. (New accessories every year is a show stopper for me for purchasing equipment).
