only for apple products and maybe not even then - don't buy

there is nothing in description of item that states that, of the 4 ports only one is usable for android....my devices are android.  item looks good enough but it is for apple products... so when I tried to return it because it does not work for me, I have to pay nearly $7.00 shipping.  The big July 15th prime sale really sucks!!  so does this product for me.  Do not buy unless you have apple products and even then you can only use 3 of 4 ports...  dumb idea..  I will never buy from this company as their service is bad.

I want to like this thing, but I can't, for it does not work at all with OS X.

So, if, like me, you run Apples, just pass on by this page because the thing will not work for you.

1) Intermittent disconnection to hard rives and displays
2) My macbook pro retina motherboard fried.
3) One of my external HDD died.
4) And when it works, it cause my processor to run at full load, causing slow downs, and fans running at full speed.

If i could go back in time, I WOULD NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK.

the bad:
1) massive power brick
2) that does not provide enough power to charge ipad3
3) no HDMI which i discover i need
4) 1 meter cable... really?

the good:
1) nicest design for the dock compare to the rest
2) seem ok when it comes to connect with my macbook pro retina

for early adopters like us, we lose thunderbolt 2 speed.
and pay more.

Took my chance despite seeing some bad reviews because the average review was a 4 star. All the bad reviews were true and there's nothing good about this product.

- The overall length is slightly shorter than what it should be, so the contact is not good.
- Because of the bad contact, there's a lot of static/muddy/watery sound. Unusable.
- This item is not eligible for returns. Don't buy it with the mindset of "I'll just try this out and return this if it doesn't work."

Total waste of $4.

EDIT:
It so happens that this works devices without no volume controls attached (like apple earpod, for example). I have other connectors like this that works with apple devices, so I know this is something that can be improved. Nonetheless, I've adjusted the rating from 1 star to 3 stars.

Quite disappointed. It's almost impossible to use the USB-A port and the HDMI port at the same time, as there is way too much space between the USB-C and HDMI and not enough between the HDMI and USB-A. Power delivery port doesnt work with my Nexus 6P; not sure if thats the fault of the phone though. It also does not support power delivery at a high enough current for the MacBook Pro 2016. If I cant charge and cant use both ports at the same time then this is useless for me. Havent used it long enough to experience the issue being reported by other reviewers of it losing connection at random. Ill be returning this and just giving into/forking out for the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Apple-USB-C-Digital-AV-Multiport-Adapter/dp/B00VU2K10G/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter</a>.

Does not work with imac as received - tested back to back with borrowed known good connector - i.e. NOT the settings or cable

Dumb dumb dumb design.  I would have thought that the most current Apple dock would support all of their iPhones including the most recent iPhone 7, but this dock does *not* support charging and listening to music with the iPhone 7.  Sure there is an 3.5mm analog headphone jack in the back, but Apple doesn't even include analog earbuds with the iPhone 7 and there is no adapter to go from an analog output to the included Lightning earbuds.  So to my mind this dock is totally inadequate in supporting Apple's new Lightning headphone standard, and it is embarrassing that there is still no update to this dock to support Apple's newest iPhone.

In fact, Apple has not addressed this issue at all, currently the only way to use the Lightning connector to both charge the phone and listen to music is with the third-party&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Belkin-Lightning-Audio-Charge-RockStar-for-iPhone-7-and-iPhone-7-Plus/dp/B01LXFKSNA/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Belkin Lightning Audio + Charge RockStar for iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus</a>, which has received very mixed reviews to this point.

In addition, I do not trust that the small Lightning plug on the base will support the weight of an iPhone or iPhone Plus long term; one jostle or push on your iPhone could snap the connector right off.  While the design looks nice, I feel like this is a case of form over function.  Avoid.

Please do not buy this product! It's shameful that Apple authorized to produce lowest level of this item!!!

Apple approved or not, this cable does not charge my iPad 4 (the one with the Retina display) from the original Apple wall wart. Even though the sole reason I bought this cable was to charge my iPad bedside, I did also try to connect it to my iMac. It failed there too. Complete waste of time, money and space. I can't return it fast enough.

nicely built but will bring 'unsupported cable error' on any of your phones eventually (so good for 'certified' by apple).. making it useless.

I tried connecting this to both an iPad 1 and an iPad 2 (iOS 5) and it did not work.
The OS comes up with a message (after 1 minute) that this is not a recognized accessory.
DO NOT BUY!

Bought two packs of these and will be returning them. Despite claiming to be MFI Certified (Made for iPhone) these do NOT work on iPhones or iPads, giving the dreaded "Unsupported Accessory" warning and fails to charge either device. So: DO NOT BUY.

It's a shame as I love Anker battery packs, and thought these would be a sure thing being MFI and Anker branded. Unfortunately not.

EDIT: Anker were fantastic and proactively offered to send me replacements, without even requiring me to send the original ones back  however these were exactly the same and I've given up on them. I will still highly recommend the Anker battery packs (I've even bought a fourth one for my collection just last week!) as well as their USB charger plugs  just not their lightning cables.

Did not work well a first, now does not work at all.  Software problems.  Trying to use with and iPhone 6 and Macbook.  Gave up using the iPhone and now I can't get it to even work on my Macbook.  I notice Apple does not sell this anymore.  Worthless

So it was just $2.50... right? This product doesn't work. I experienced the same issues most people seem to be posting. When plugged into my "The New iPad" if it is in USB mode the iPad responds "Not Enough Power". In card mode, it has not been able to read a single memory card I have inserted. Looks like all the bragging I did waiting for this thing to arrive has turned into ragging on what a disappointing item it actually is. Sorry Apple, I will never try to save money by buying NON-OEM again. From this day forward I will spend the big bucks and buy only Apple approved devices.

Not usable with my new iPad Air.  Sending it back and hoping for a full refund.  Should I just stick with Apple products?

I thought the concept was that whatever is on your iPad or iPhone could be put up on the big screen.

This not the case.

The very first thing I tried to watch - a video on my Amazon Prime account - could not be displayed.

This $100 product pretty much only works with Netflix and Hulu.  On top of it all, Apple TV does not have a smooth interface... which is what Apple products are supposed to be known for.
