whats the diffrence between this one and Belkin Charge and Sync Dock with 8-Pin Lightning Cable Connector for iPhone 5 / 5S

This one is for the older line of apple products (excluding ipads) that require the long style connector. The 8-pin Lightning connector is for the newest apple products, iPhone 5, iPod touch (5th generation), or iPod nano (7th generation) ipad (4th gen), and ipad mini.

I purchased mine prior to the I touch gen5. What I CAN tell you is that there is a docking station for other apple electronics, and it works very well.

Dear friend! I am using the dock with the standard apple cables as well as the belkin auto transmitter. The volume is soft, but it is charging. So I am not very happy with my purchase. I have read online it's not only me that is having problems -so maybe it's a problem with ios7. Hope this helps

I don't think there's anything too mysterious about chargers. This Belkin base delivers a 2.1 amp current to whatever USB cord you plug into it. I've used this base to charge iPhones, iPads, iPods, Android phones, camera batteries... The only thing "hocus pocus"-ey about Apple is the non-USB, *other* end of the cord, the end which plugs into your device -- something about a slightly different pin configuration will sometimes make my iPhone5 say something like "this cord is not approved by Apple". But if I switch the cord (or even just flip it over) it's always charged any of my devices, and very quickly at that. I don't think there's anything too mysterious about chargers.

This A133 iGo tip is for the previous proprietary 30-pin Apple dock connector. The 5S and later Apple products utilize a proprietary 8-pin connector referred to as the Lightning bus and power connection. The A133 is not compatible with Lightning.

It should work on any iPhone that has an 8 pin lightning connection. I just bought one and received it on Saturday for my iPhone 5c. It wouldn't charge or sync my phone. Are you having the same problem? I need to exchange mine. I was disappointed since I liked the dock. Just wished it worked for me.

Yes. The Apple charge/sync cable will fit. You just can't use most docks without an adapter.

I found that both my apple and 3rd party charges work fine on it. The 3rd party is a bit thicker than the official apple charge hut it fits nicely. I wouldn't be too confident in dock charges

No, this dock has the 30 pin connector that is not compatible with the iPhone 5.

No. It uses the older 30-pin docking connector, not the small Lightning connector on the iPhone 5/5s/5c.

I have a iPhone 5 and it works perfectly. I would think it would work wit the 5s they both use the 8pin lightning conector???

No, the 5 and 5S use the lightning port connection, this tip is for the 32-pin connection on the iPhone models previously made

The dock has the larger plug. For an iPhone 5 or 6 with a mini jack you need an adapter.

There are docks (for charging and some with speakers) with the OLD style 30-pin Apple dock/charge connector. The newer Apple mobile devices (iPad 4 and up, iPhone 5, etc.) have a new-style "Lightning" digital connector. If you want to use the NEWER i-devices with an OLDER base station, charger, cord, accessory, charging dock or speaker dock --- you would need a physical, electrical, and DIGITAL ADAPTER. This one seems to work for CHARGING and SYNC but NOT for audio (speakers) or video (Movies, YouTube, etc.) SO if you want to use it for CHARGE/SYNC to an old-style connector, it works. Otherwise, probably not. There are docks (for charging and some with speakers) with the OLD style 30-pin Apple dock/charge connector.

Our 30 pin belkin failed pretty quick , right after the time I could exchange it. I do have one for the iPhone 5 and that does work great and yes you can play music while charging.

No, iPhone 5 chargers are "Lightning" cables, while this is a Micro USB cable.
