Iphone Compatibility There is some confusion between the product description saying Iphones are supported and the reviews. It would be helpful if ALL people put what kind of phone they are using this product with instead of being lazy and just using "my smart phone" as a catch-all. The only review I can find with someone mentioning an Iphone is the one 1 star review where the guy is mad because it didn't come with a cable for the Iphone even though in the description and even the title it specifically states "iPhone 4/4S/3GS, ipod touch, ipod classic, iPod nano (require your own cable for Apple)." Can anyone confirm that this charger is compatible with Iphones, specifically the 4s?

One end of the iPhone cable is a standard USB port, the other end is the 30 pin connector. So as long as the device has a standard USB port -- like this one does -- it will work.

It says that it will work with the iPhone 5 which has the new lightning connector. Does anyone know if this will work with it? I have used this for the 4S but the 5 is so different. Thank You for any help.

It works great with I... everything, u need your own cord because it comes with a pull out micro USB and a USB port that you can plug almost anything into. You can charge 2 things at once, one through the pull out micro USB cord and another through the USB port. Its great.

It worked with my grandson's iPhone so I assume it should work with your smart phone. He said it charged it completely but I did not check it personally. It uses a USB and actually has two ports that can be used simultaneously. It does take a while to charge using direct current (use any wall adapter and a USB with a micro adapter on the other end), but if you want to charge it and take it with you, it is a pretty nice unit. Seems well made too. Oh, it seems if you are charging it using the USB on your computer, the computer has to be charging and up and running. I closed my laptop and it stopped charging. I left it open and it was fine. I'm not a real technical person, but I hope this helps. It worked with my grandson's iPhone so I assume it should work with your smart phone.

And more importantly, what are the new features of this compared to the older one? Hopefully, there is support for iPhones since it has fried one of my older iPhones. I refuse to try it with any 3G modeled iPhone.

Because this charger is compatible with Apple. To do so, they cannot follow the USB charging standard. So, if you have a phone that does, like any android phone, you have to have a special charge-only cable. I really wish that there were at least one high power charger available that did follow the standard.

I don't use iphone. But, considering how long ago this unit was manufactured, I seriously doubt that iphone 4 or 5 is compatible with it.

Hardware wise it is compatible with older iPhones software I am not sure because I do not run software that old. If it doesn't work update your software and you should be fine. Ask the seller their policy about returns before buying if you want to know for sure. This way if they are pretty return friendly than it would be worth the process.

When placed in the cradle, my 5S says it does not support this device. On the box in which the product comes, it lists as compatible only iPhones 4S and earlier. Bottom line is, I can get audio out of my 5S on this device, but it does not charge the phone. The phone also sits awkwardly on the cradle, and I'm wondering if I'm damaging the connector pins on the phone if I force it onto the cradle....

You may have to purchase adaptor as the plug that comes with it is for the older model iPhones/iPods. We used it for my iPhone 4 and our iPod, works great!! Keeps the device very stable and there are no issues with either moving around. Would buy it again!!

Just and FYI for everyone out there who has a second generation itouch. The charging capability of any of the periphial docking devices that you have to play your itouch on are no longer supported by the second generation. The first generations are fine but a small programming change was made to the second generation that caused this to happen. So it's not the fault of the docking device you purchased- it's the Itouch itself. The only thing you can do is charge it using a Apple compatable charger but you won' t able to listen to it while charging Sorry.. I just got this news after purchasing my new itouch and calling the store where I bought it. Just and FYI for everyone out there who has a second generation itouch.

Most sites say it works with all iPhone/iPod items, but don't quote me on that...it works great with my Nano

I had to call the company and re order a charger bc ours stopped working and I tried the Apple charger from our iPhones and it wouldn't work. There is a slight difference in it. The company gave me no problem at all maybe if you contacted them they might have a suggestion for you or may have a longer one to mail you.

If you bother to read the title, it says, "iPhone 3GS or earlier." What does that tell you? There's also a listing for a new version that works only with the iPod touch 4 Gen and iPhone 4/4S.

Dear Cindy, after looking at the listed models for compatible iPod's I can say that it does list iPod Classic as compatible, however it does not go into further specifics so I would presume that would include all models under "Classic". I am sorry I can not facilitate the link for you to further verify however I would suggest looking over the technical data sheet if you like and please let me know if I can help any further as well. Thank you and I hope this has helped

I don't know what you meant, I purchased this item and install it in my iPhone 4 with no problem, I highly recommend the seller I made business with, the item is of high quality and looks great.

The product description says it is compatible with the iPhone 3G and 3GS. But I want to know if it works with the iPhone 4.

I tried the iphone 4 in it and it works. I even tried my friend's samsung galaxy. It was snug, but it fit. I will probably never need another all in one charger/player. You plug your existing charger into the USB port on the side. I just love it, and on top of everything else, it's sounds so clear.

Yes, but FYI it has nothing to do with the iOS version, it's all about the interface: lightning, Bluetooth or AUX cable inputs. As long as you have one of three your fine.
