If you have to buy an adapter for the iPhone 5, must it be Apple's adapter or will a cheaper one work?

I suppose if you get one that's sync/power that is apple certified, it should work. The cheap ones are usually for charging only and will NOT play music. Also, be aware that the knock offs may not work if you have cover for your phone. Hope this helps.

Must be Apple because the less expensive will charge the iphone, but typically not transfer data (music). Also, for connecting purposes, it is more versatile in many cases to purchase Apple's short-corded adapter rather than the plastic block model, especially if you keep your phone in a case.

This will work on iPhone 5, but you'll have to use the lightning cord that came with your phone. When I bought mine, it was before the iPhone 5 came out, and although it came with many adapters, at that time it didn't have one for the iPhone 5. It uses a USB port, so you can use any cord that plugs into a USB port. As far as the charger working, I've had mine for awhile, and it works great, and I give it a fair amount of abuse. I bought one for my son and he uses it to charge his droid phone and iPad at the same time, as he works a long shift. He loves it too. I highly recommend it.

I don't see why it wouldn't but you would have to use something like a 'Apple Lightning to 30-pin Adapter for iPhone 5' because the imports have been changed.

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

No.Hhowever Apple (and probably others) makes a converter that allows you to use your iPhone 5 w/ iPhone 4 chargers (etc). It's a small converter piece.

Yes, as long as you have the adapter, it will work. But the remote control will not work, so you have to control your music (play/pause/skip) on the iPhone 5 itself.

you need an adapter for the iphone 5, but works just fine using the audio jack cable.

No, you will need to buy an adapter. I recommend the Apple 30 Pin to Lightning CORD because the other adapter will not fit in many of the iPhone 5 cases.

You will need the iPhone 5 adapter to work with this. I purchased one and it works great.

The VGA adapter makes it possible for the iPhone 5 to work like the old iphone adapter or you could just get a lightning adapter for like 12$ if you only want it for music function and not video.

No, this would allow you to use a Micro USB 2.0 cord (Like for charging other older Phones/ eReader/ Nook/ Kindle) to charge older iPhones/iPod touch etc. The iPhone 5 uses something called a "lightning" cord. You want an Apple Lightning to 30-Pin Adapter.

The interface to the phone is different. The iPhone 5 has the smaller plug-in while this has the larger one found on older iPods and iPhones. It would not work without an adapter.

What kind of adapter will I need to use this for my iphone 5? I just received this item and didn't realize it was only for iphone 4

Unfortunately this product does not accept iphone 5, and useless to buy the adapter from Apple, why will not serve.

I have an iPhone 5, and this works fine. What I needed to do was to go to the Apple Store and buy an 8 pin to 30 pin USB Cable Adapter Converter. You can find that on Amazon as well for a better price.

It will work with the iphone 5 with the adapter for the connector, but it won't work unless you get lucky with one that comes from a good batch from where it is manufactured. Most are getting duds, so quality control is non-existent.

No, this adapter works for Gen 1 - 4 Iphones/Ipods, don't know if it works using the Iphone 5 adapter
