Does it charge iPhone while playing?

Sorry, I can't give you a definite answer as I do not have an iPhone. I use mine with an MP3 player. I did notice, however, that after using the player continuously for about 10 hours on a road trip, the player's battery was very low. Obviously the player was not charged while being used with this device, so I would assume the iPhone would not charge either.

Yes you can charge it or an I phone however you can not listen to your Ipod or Iphone at the same time its charging because you have to plug in the AUX cable to play music through the head unit it doesnt play music threw the USB jack from an iphone

No. You can charge your device using the USB but to play you would need a 3.5 male to male cable.

Yes you can charge while listening to music, but it will take longer to get a full charge.

Hello Mayra, no it does not. It is only good for supplying power to your USB devices. Amazon did have a deal going where if you paid for the device that has bluetooth, you got this one for free so you could charge the device while you were listening to your music.

It doesn't seem I work while charging...but then if it did it would be more restrictive than just plugging your headphones into your player. It works with other headphones, which is what I use. The devise has a headphone jack like any other device.

FALSE. It functions while charging. You can also sync with the micro-USB cord directly into iTunes.

Yes. Using the supplied charger and cable I can listen to music while charging.

Nope. You have to plug the iphone to the port on top and it plays and charges at same time.

Sure, the cable is called a CD-IU50V cable. It will also charge your iphone while playing. I have this cable and works pretty good.

No, it uses an electric plug and charges the iPhone at the same time as playing through the speakers.

Yes, the cable charges whatever you have connected to it. However, the cable will only seem to play my ipod and not music from my iphone. If you plug your iphone to the cable, it will charge, but seems not to be compatible with playing music from the phone library.

I can only answer part of your question. My son has the iphone 5 and it works perfectly and yes it charges the phone while playing music. He loves it. He has a case on his phone and does not have to take that off for it to charge and play.

Does not charge the iPhone. But it is an excellent player and IT IS WATERPROOF !! I did contact the company after buying mine and suggested an on board charger or USB port to charge devices while plugged into AC.

Yes it does. You need a power supply from USB which can be done using the iPhone wall plug charger. However the speaker volume is really low as usually iPhone's output sound is not strong enough. I find that the INSTEIN speaker volume is actually softer than my iPhone's. So I returned the product right after I got it.

Yes it does. Plug it in and charge it, and then unplug it and play it (of course after connecting your device). It lasts for 10-15 hours approximately.
