Besides I am not sure iPhone 5 will have all the features Galaxy S3 has. It does have some cool features which Apple has had locked to customers.

That's always been the problem with the iPhone, it has features locked. They have not listened to their customers because they always believed they had the best hardware.
It's only now (IOS 6) that there catching up with other phones on the market. And again its not because of them giving what there customers want but rather the competition from other manufacturers forcing Apple to respond.
Apple would be much better off retaining the current connector and adding a micro USB beside it.
And even if Apple comes up with an adaptor for there iPhone 5 it will not sit in the iPhone 4 cradles or equipment currently everyone has, it will have no physical support structure, standing up to high, unless the adaptor covers whole base of the iPhone 5.
I can see alot of angry BMW owners having to buy whole new base eject plates & new cradles, whats that $500 - $600, plus a new Y-Cable $70, plus the new iPhone 5 = $1000, may as well stick to the iPhone 4 with IOS 6?
