Not compatible with new lightning 5 prong used by Apple
586330
This product is new, yet does not work with new Apple products as Apple has switched from 30 prong to 5 prong lightning.  A purchase of a Bluetooth adapter allows you to use this product with new Apple products.

Opened the box for the first time to much disappointment because cannot use the cable that charges iphone and ipad. Why do other users not mention this crazy oversight?

I see now that they do supply compatible cable but i still don't understand why they didn't go with the standard cable.

I was VERY disappointed that my new Mophie case doesn't use the standard Apple lightning plug.  This cable works with the Mophie case just fine.

I am appalled. I have never had a problem with iHome products before, but this experience has totally changed my mind about the company.

I bought this to replace an older iHome clock radio that I happily owned for at least 5 years. The older device has the larger Apple pin connector, and I've used the lightning pin adapter with my iPhone 5 for more than a year. All of a sudden, the clock radio stopped sending the iPhone sound through the speakers. OK, I thought, five years is a good run for an electronic device. I decided to upgrade to a newer iHome device with the lightning pin connector.

My mistake. I received the device on Jan. 15, 2014. On Jan. 27, 2014, just 12 days after I first plugged it in, the dimmer switch stopped working. On Jan. 28, 2014, just 14 days after I first plugged it in, it stopped charging my iPhone. Luckily, I haven't donated by old clock radio yet, so I guess I'm going to go back to the old clock radio and avoid buying new iHome products every again.

My advice: DO NOT BUY THIS! It's a waste of money. I am highly disappointed with iHome. They used to make quality products. What happened?

Wife purchased for me a few months ago and it had been working fine. Not sure how or why, but it just fried my iPhone 5s charging components and itself. No surges or issues w/ current here, so it is a malfunctiona dangerous and costly one at that. Hopeful that this process won't be too burdensome since I have to purchase a new phone now (Apple advised that the internal battery and ability to charge the phone are now useless).

EDIT - revised from 1 star to 3 stars because this device will charge an iPhone and iPod Touch if you use only the lightning cable supplied by Apple and only the Apple USB charger cube.  Any other aftermarket lightning cable, including ones purchased here on Amazon, or non-Apple charger cubes may not charge your iDevices via the USB3 Camera Kit.

I bought this device to use with an Audioquest Dragonfly Red and iPhone or iPod Touch.  It was supposed to also charge the iDevice at the same time as it was being used to play music via the Dragonfly.

This does not work.  The iPhone or iPod Touch will not charge via the USB Camera Kit.  Contacted Apple Support chat line and they stated the Camera Kit is not meant to be used as a charging device.

I find this strange since Apples web page on this Camera Kit states, "Add even greater capability and versatility to your iPad Pro by powering the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter with a USB Power Adapter.".  If it charges an iPad Pro, why won't it charge any other iDevice that uses a lighting cable?

I am returning the product, Apple should work with 3rd party cables. It will charge but not sync, to bad.

The power cube and cigarette adapter work.  But the lightening connector does not sized properly and must be forced into the iPhone or iPad.

Behind this iHome clock/radio is a USB port and your can plug in either a 5s or 4s charging cord depending on what your needs are.

The top mount is a 30 pin connector. I did a search before purchasing for "iHome 5s iPhone" and this appeared. I wasn't happy after receiving the item, and had to go out and purchase an adapter to convert the 30 pin to the 9 pin. The adapters run between $30 to $40 depending on where you go. Now the top is useless for charging my wife's iPad Mini. Therefore, it only works as single charging unit rather than a dual as hoped and desired.

If you have the latest iPad's and iPhone's, I would strongly NOT recommend this product.

I received these after I purchased them prime I received them almost two weeks after and when I plug them into my phone it says this accessory many not be supported by Apple devices, I checked the reviews before I bought and am disappointed to find this out!

The lightning plug is too big with a case. It is cheaper than Apple's original, but you need to make sure it works for your setting.

This was the wrong adapter and didn't mention that it was for lightning (new MacBooks) only. I returned and had to pay shipping : (

I gave this to my wife to replace her OEM iPhone 5 USB cable after one of the wires near the phone plug end fatigued and broke. Looks more robust than the one from Apple and works fine.

AMENDED SEPT. 30, 2015:
I've bought two of these and discovered this week that, although they worked fine with our iPhone 5 smartphones, the plug does not fit our new iPhone 6 phones. I have a longer 6' AmazonBasics USB cable that fits an iPhone 6, but these shorter ones are now useless. Hence my revising my review from five stars down to two.

Can't even try it, because no adapter included to provide the power for lightning the Light Strip. The plug for the power is not even a USB like other Light Strip, so could not try it :-(

Received this morning and tried for about 4 hours when both my iPhone and iPad are plugged into the available 2.4a charging port my iPad stops charging, and displays not charging on screen. Tried different OEM Lightning cables and same issue. Purchased this to limit charging bricks, but does not work as intended.

this will not work with the NEW apple lightning plug, even with adapter so check ur hardware. If you like Apple stuff chances are you have an old iPod or iPhone lying around pop it in there and keep it in there. I would love to see an adapter for android. they sold a few million of these guitars so I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen.
