No. Charger for older iPhones with 30 pin connectors and not for new Lightning connectors like in iPhone 6

Thank you for considering Geneva. The older models with the iPod dock have a 30-pin dock. A lightening to 30 pin adaptor can be purchased separately to make this model Bluetooth compatible. The adapters can be found on Amazon or be purchased directly through Apple.

Well, I have an old iPod and it works just fine. But this has a 30-pin dock and I don't know if it works with newer iPods, iPhones, and iPads. Here's something I found on Wikipedia (so it must be true!). I don't know if you could get an adapter if you have a newer iPod -- you may want to look for a newer dock if that's the case, since the device may not sit upright in the dock with an adapter. Apple Dock connector The Apple dock connector is a proprietary 30-pin connector that was common to most Apple mobile devices (iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, 1st through 4th generation iPod Touch, iPad, iPad 2, and iPad (3rd generation)) from its introduction with the 3rd generation iPod in 2003 until the Lightning connector was released in September 2012. Originally, the Apple dock connector carried USB, FireWire, some controls and line-level audio outputs.[citation needed] As the iPod changed, so did the signals in the dock connector. Video was added to the connector. FireWire was phased out of the iPods, which led to a discontinuity in usage of the dock connector. As a result of the popularity of Apple's iPod and iPhone devices using the connector, a cottage industry was created of third-party devices that could connect to the interface.[1]

It works fine with mine, but I do not have the latest ipod connections. My wife bought a new one the plug is different.

No, only iPad 3rd gen or older, iPhone 4S or older, and iPods older than the tall screen touch. New devices use lightning. This has 30-Pin connections.

No, it only has for Apple 30pin. But use Bluetooth connection or aux in connector

No, if this is the same unit I have, it has the old 30 pin connector. iPhone 5 has the smaller Lightning connector.

Krishna, It has the standard 32 pin connector - I have a 4th gen iPod. One concern with this system and it may only be my docking station - it shuts off after half an hour and this started happening 2 years after purchase. It is not a big deal to me and it has great sound from both my iPods (I also have one of the old small ones that is at least 6 years old). So I didn't answer your question exactly, but if the 5th gen has a 32 pin instead of the new lightning connection it will work. Kind regards, tom

I believe if it is a 30pin connector, it would work. I bought this as gift for my nephew who has an older iPod and it works great.

Thank you for your interest in our products. The dockBoss5 is equipped with a female USB port, so you can plug in a USB to 30-Pin cable for use with 30-Pin iOS devices. You will need to have your own cable however, as the dockBoss5 only comes with a Micro USB cable included, but using your own USB to 30-Pin cable this will work with your older iPod.

This only works with 30 pin connector. Like the one on the iPhone 4 or older. Never tried a iPod nano fourth GEN

No. It is for the older connectors. It is no longer sold by Sonos and therefore not updated to the newer connector. Charging is better handled by Apple chargers. I retired mine since it is not necessary in order to play music on your ipod through Sonos. The latest sonos software allows this to happen without the dock wirelessly.

This speaker dock used the now-dated 30-pin connector. The newest iPods (all but the shuffle) have the new lightning connector. There is an adapter, but it would be awkward to use in a speaker dock.

Yes. It comes with the standard 32 pin Apple connection, and the iPod is usable while on the deck. If the Apple device uses the newer lightning plug, then you can purchase an Apple adapter for about $20 here on Amazon that works well.

This device is for 30 pin and is perfect for my iPod. It did not work for my iPad which is 5 pin. You can get an adapter. I bought an off brand and it fits but doesn't charge of play. I love this machine and use it a lot, but disappointed that I can't use my iPad.

It is for the older Sound Docks. It uses the same docking system as my old ipod classic. 30pin o think.
