Yes. Just buy a 3.5 mm adapter that goes to the radio and an adapter that goes to your Iphone or whatever device you have.

iPhones require a lot of power. The solar panel is too small for this, as is the internal battery. While in theory it is possible if you crank this at 160 turns/minute. What you need is a stand-alone device with a solar cell and battery (sized 2250mA or more). The iphone will stop charging if interrupted. So use the stand-alone solar/battery device to charge it's internal battery. Then charge the iphone from internal battery. That way, there no interruptions.

HelloIn order to charge iPhone, you can use the included USB cable along with iPhone's charging cable and then you need to keep cranking the device to charge it. You need to start the cranking really fast for a minute or so until iPhone is showing charging and then you can slow down to normal speed. This is an emergency device. It was not designed to charge the phone to full capacity. it gives you the option to charge the phone up to make a few emergency phone calls. It will take a lot of cranking to charge a phone fully.

This product comes with a plug-in USB port, so, yes, you can charge your iPhone 5 so long as you have your USB charger cable. I've never actually tried to charge my cell phone with this, so I can't answer your second question.

Yes, I use it for an iPhone 5s. The instructions state that you have to use one of the usb ports to get the fastest charge but they both charge an iPhone 5s.

Yes. The base is simply a two port USB adapter. If you have a power cable for your iPhone 5 or 5s it will power the phone.

I don't have an iPhone 5 but I have an iPad mini which uses the same lightning to USB cable. It charges the mini in both the 2.1 and 1.0 amp ports. It should charge the iPhone 5 as well. Plus in the 2.1 port you'll find that it charges very quickly.

Yea. It has a USB charging function I know. But I have read in some reviews that the charger doesn't work with some devices or something. So just wanted to confirm from somebody who has already tried or is using with an iPhone or iPad.

It works with all IPODs that have a standard power input. It will not work with the IPhone 5 as they have made the power input smaller.

It will charge the iPhone 5 via the USB port, but there is no dedicated "Lightning 8-pin" cable. You will certainly have to buy an adapter that will connect with the older iPhone connector, or just be OK with connecting it directly to the USB

Hi, Yes this will charge an iPhone 5 as long as you are using an officially licensed cable Apple cable.

It will work to charge the iPhone 5 and provide data transfer into iTunes for the iPad 2 and iPad 3 (will not charge).

This charger is what I use for my iPad 2, so the connector is not the same as the one you would use for the iPhone 5. however, since it does use the USB port for the cord, you merely need to plug your iPhone 5 USB cable into the slot for the charger; it will work just fine. That is what I do when I am alternating the device I am charging.

Hi, Yes it will work with the iPhone 5. It will also work with any other device which can be charged via USB port

No.Hhowever Apple (and probably others) makes a converter that allows you to use your iPhone 5 w/ iPhone 4 chargers (etc). It's a small converter piece.

Yes it works well but I just had to buy a new power cord for the iPhone 5. The power cord that came with it was for the iPhone 4

Yes, this will charge an iPhone 5. That's what I have and it works great. You can use your standard charger cord and plug it directly into the PowerGen through the USB port. The instruction manual recommends which port to use for which devices (iPad, iPhone, non-Apple devices, etc) for optimal charging.

no this won't work. there are other solar products designed for charging phones

Yes, it will charge an iphone 3/4 but not the 5, even with an adapter. It will not charge an Ipad. I truly loved this clock and still do, but once you switch to the iPhone 5, its just a clock.

It works fine. I have iphone 5 with iOS 7.1.1 and it works perfectly. I bought four charging cases for an international trip and it worked incredibly well. Never went without power.
