I don't think "changed the video out" is how I put it. It's more like "added check to see if you're using a new Apple-approved cable."

How do they know whether or not your cable is "approved"?

They also seem to change the charging spec from time to time so old charging cables may or may not work on new devices.

This appears not to be the case. I must have at least 10 cables from everything from ancient iPods through to my iPad and iPhone 4. They are all completely interchangeable as far as charging (and syncing) goes.
