Apple's Lightning authentication chip cloned
One of the "features" of Apple's new Lightning adapter on the iPhone 5 is a special authentication chip that must be built into the adapter or third-party peripherals in order for them to work properly. Apple is reportedly doing this in order to ensure compatibility with third-party Lightning peripherals, but there's some concern about availability and cost of those peripherals due to this requirement.
