Does an iPhone5s connect/charge/play via the usb port? Or must one buy the 30 pin to lighning adapter? Thanks!

Hi Dr. Jud,It's not the same plug, you can buy an adapter at Apple, It cost like 40 dollars.Happy new year!

It doesn't work with the iPhone5s.... You need the Showwx+, and that does require multiple adapters to get it to work.

You are right, it has the old 30 pin connector. You CAN connect to an iPhone 5 but you have to buy an adaptor from Apple to make it possible

No, unfortunately it uses the plug-in system of the iPhone 4/4S, and the iPod touch 4, and everything before that. However, you can still buy an adapter to put onto the dock, and then plug your iPhone 5 directly into the adapter and it'll work just fine. The one in this link looks like a good one: http://www.amazon.com/Zeimax-SUPPORT-ADAPTER-30-Pin-iPhone/dp/B00D9U3M5S/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1383534980&sr=8-3&keywords=iphone+5+adapter Good luck with your decision! Let me know if you have any questions

Yes you would need the 30 pin to Lightning 8 pin adapter BUT you will never use it! Just set up your Bluetooth on your IPhone 5 to stream to the Samsung Audio Dock- I have had this unit for about six months and have never "connected" the unit to my IPhone with cables. You don't have to with Bluetooth! Very easy set up as well.

Use the USB adapter that comes with your iPhone 5. It took me a second to figure out. Its pretty cool little device.

It only has a 30 pin connector which was used on all Apple devices previous to the iPhone 5 but you can buy an adapter to use with iPhone 5.

There is no 30 pin receptacle on the iPhone 5 and I do not know if there is an adapter to use a possible cable Elf to iPhone 5. Have you posed the question to Elf?

yes ,you charge it via the usb port from your computer or any other USB charger such as a phone charger. A cord is included but you can use any USB mini plug.It does not come with Iphone 5 adaptor but again you can use the cable from your I phone 5 charger. Hope it helps

I use it with my 5s, I just use an adapter since it comes with the old connector. Keep in mind, it does say it doesn't work with iPhones. Weird, I know. Most of the time I can play my phone's music through the radio's speakers, but every now and then it doesn't work. Most of the time it works fine.

I don't know the answer and best to direct that towards the vendor. I do know in my configuration, it does work (Sounddock 1 with iPhone 5). What you need to be aware of is they sell two types (one powered, on not). If you have an adaptor to convert lightning port to 30-pin female), you can test what you need by docking your iPhone 5. If it charges it, you only need the receiver. If it doesn't, then you probably need the powered version. Hope this helps, and again your best bet is to just ask the vendor with your specific setup.

Yes if you get the 30pin to Lightning adapter from Apple for $40.00 for the cable adapter or $30.00 for the pass through adapter or Under $20.00 for either from iPhone5Mod.com. Also you can use your USB/Lightning cable that came with your iPhone 5 and plug it into one of the USB charging ports in the backpack or you can get the Micro USB to Lightning adapter and use it on the built in Micro USB cable. Again both are available from Apple or iPhone5mod.com. Lots of options here people!

It will connect to the iPhone 5 but it will NOT charge it. This device connects to the headphone portion of your iPhone so it only projects the sound (a.k.a. speakers) but has not way to charge it.

yes it is works great with the older iphone's (30 pin), will work with the new iphone 5 if you buy the correct adapter

Negative, it is a standard 30 pin connector. You may get a 30 pin connector adapter for the iphone 5 though.

Yes, you can connect the iPhone 5s through the USB input using the USB to lightening cable. The sound quality done this way is significantly better.
