When we got this unit we did not need an adapter to use it with our iPhone fours. It had the older (wide) connector for iPhone 4/4s and older iPods.

Yes. You can charge and sync your phone without the adapter. The adapter is primarily for devices with a dock, but a standard iPhone sync cable fits just fine.

Yes I have iPad retina, iPad mini and iPhone 5S all charge on either port, I ended up buying the 4 port one because I loved the 2 port so much

I think you'll need the adaptor, I have only used it for IPad and IPhone 4.

You may use the cord that comes with the IPhone 4, no need to purchase a separate cord

I bought one just now in a store (not on Amazon), but it came with an iPhone 4 adaptor and says it works with iphone 4 on the box. I tried it and it worked great, no "unauthorized charger" message. If you have a case, you can't use the adaptor, but it still works and seems to be pretty stable when docked.

Yes, I have an older Model Bose Dock that would only charge my old ipod or ipod nano pre iphone 4 connector. My Iphone 4s would plug in but not charge. This adapter works great with that version of my dock without any issues. love this device.

It comes only with a Micro USB cable. Guess you need an adapter for Apple, like this one or similar: 30 pin Dock Connector to Micro USB Adapter For ipod ipad 2 iPhone 4 4S 3GS WHITE

NO, most of the USED docks do NOT come with a power adapter. I purchased used and had to buy it separately. The NEW docks however do come with the adapter.

Yes it does charge an iPhone 4s with no converter plugs. The iPhone 5 is the one that would require an adapter. I don't think it displays text about the song on the radio readout. If it does I just don't use that feature, but I think I tried to get it to work with that TEXT button and it didn't work.

I have an iPhone 4S and it worked very well. it just plugs into the to of the Pyle-pro docking station. No adapters, no wires

The Griffin PowerDock 4 is compatible with iPhones that have the 30-pin connector (iPhone 4S and older), but I upgraded to the iPhone 5S and purchased the lightning to 30-pin adapter cord that is about 9 in long so it lays on the desk next to the dock. If you have other 30-pin devices to charge this is still a great central PowerDock to have.

No, this adapter will let you use a micro-usb cord to charge/sync your iphone 4/s. You will need a 30 pin to lightning adapter, such as this one: http://www.amazon.com/Lightning-30pin-Charning-Adapter-Iphone/dp/B00DU6UD8A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386698490&sr=8-1&keywords=30+pin+to+lightning NOTE: Make sure you read the reviews, etc... and check that it will play the sound, if that's what you are looking for, before you buy though.

From what I've read on the other dual port chargers you need a 2.4A port to charge the iPhone or iPad. This one seem more for Android devices.

Yes you'll have to use it. Kind of a draw back of this product. I still haven't found any dock that would work with my phone and case.

The dock is a 30 pin. So if you have an iPhone 5 you will need the adapter. I bought the adapter from apple and it works perfectly just stands a little high. If your looking to answer calls you need the dual Bluetooth adapter sold desperately but music and navigation apps work great.

You would need an adapter cord. The dock is not for lightning style interface plug.
