I was going to make a snarky remark about hurrying and buying this before the dock connector became obsolete, but it seems everyone else beat me to it!
actually, it is questionable if it will work with the iPhone5 even with the adapter. google it… the adapter doesn’t allow video or ipod out to work. so it may not work with these speaker systems.
I’m thoroughly amused that you found this information, and the TechIlluminati quickly deleted the post about how those complaining about the iPhone 5 compatibility are dinosaurs…
Not to mention that even if the adapter DID work, it STILL would render all of these devices useless since part of the design is to show what’s on the screen… can’t do that nearly as effectively when the phone is laying next to the speakers.
Edited to add fair disclosure - with the exception of my iPads, the most recent iPod I use is the iPod Video. Yes, the FIRST one.
That’s a good question. According to what I’m reading the adapter that Apple is making won’t pass analog audio through the Lightning port since those pins aren’t in the new connector.
I got one of these a few years ago… I think the sound is pretty good… great bass and it can be loud enough to annoy the neighbors. Love having the 3.5 port to plug in just about anything.
