3GS charging: Does this unit charge the iPhone 3GS?

I just got this radio over the weekend and set it up in my office this morning. Its been charging my iphone 3GS all day without any issues. Works good for ipod playback also. The tagging feature also works pretty slick. The manual does say that if you turn the volume up to 25 or more (out of 30) that it will stop charging an ipod but I don't think I'm ever going to have it that loud here at work even with my door closed. Overall it is pretty finicky about antenna placement but once I got that right, the sound is great.

Actually, it only partially works with iPhone 4. It works normally as long as the power adapter is plugged in, including charging the phone while docked. Unfortunately, if the power adapter is not connected and it is running off of batteries, the unit shuts off in the middle of playing music as it doesn't seem to realize that a device is docked. This does not occur when a 3GS is connected to the unit.

Seeing that this uses USB and micro USB cords and Apple has their proprietary cords that work only with their devices, I don't think it'll charge an iPhone.

I think this is only for the 3gs (worked perfectly for my 3gs)= the iphone 3rd generation, but not the 3g (which was 2nd generation).

I believe so, we charge to ipod 4th generations, an ipad, and an iphone with 3gs with it and it does just fine! Just make sure you have the right cords, it is just a wall port.

Yes, you just plug the iPhone cable on the charger USB and it will charge. I verified that with an iPhone 4S.

I don't know. I have used it to charge iPhones 3GS, 4s, and 5. It gives each of them one full charge.

It works with both the 3G and the iphone 4. I have used both phones in this unit. You have to switch out the docking parts.

I have an iPhone 4S and an iPad 3. Both can be charged at the same time quite effectively by using the "A" port for the iPad and the "NA" port for the phone as described in other comments here.

Yes it does. It has a 30 pin connector. I use my old iphone 3G with it and it keeps it charged.

Sorry I have only used iPhone 4S on it. That works fine. It does charge it, when plugged on.

No, it comes with a cord to charge the device. You use your iphone charging cord to charge the phone. It's a nice unit.

No,the IPhone charger or to be precise, the IPhone cable cannot be used to charge this particular unit. It has its own cable used for charging and it comes with the unit.

My cable doesn't support charging on iPhone 3. I don't think this cable supports charging.

It works, but won't charge the 3G S. Does anyone have issues with a buzzing noise while playing music?

Mine did not come with the newer generation iPhone lightning cables but the ports are standard USB 2.0 so as long as you have your own usb cables it will charge any device type

No, it does not and it does not use an iphone charger either. It's a smaller connection.
