I suspect part of the rationale for the switch to the lightning connector, other than cost, was that the 30 pin is asymmetric but not obviously so, and the lightning is symmetric. Lightning connectors first appeared on the iPhone5 and the iPad4.
My iPhone4 and iPad3 (both iOS7) are cranky when plugged in to the laptop, but I'm not sure if is the cables, sockets, or iTunes getting more and more flakey. They started mucking up while running iOS6 so I can't see it being iOS7 that's the problem.
I'm in the process of persuading SWMBO I need an iPhone 5S and iPad Air.
