Apple iPhone 3G Dock

Longer Please!!

Written by SS from Atherton

Pretty awesome, but for £19 you should get a USB lead with it - I'd pay £25 if it came with another mains adaptor.

No qualms about it not coming in the box - not everybody wants one, but would be great if Apple produced an extra long usb lead - mine goes behind the bed to charge at night but is just not long enough! have had to put yet another extension lead in to accomodate new shiny iPhone.

Apple iPhone 3G Dock

Good but could be a lot better very easily.

Written by JL from Rochdale

This is perfect for what it says. It doesn't bother me that it doesn't come with a cable or it wasn't included with the phone. The following two points bother me because I see no reason why they cannot be solved.

1. Make the base a lot heavier. This needs to sit on a desk without being influenced by the weight of the cable. I should be able to lift the phone in and out without moving the dock or needing to hold it down.

2. Make a black one. I understand that a lot of Apple's products are white such as the Apple Macs and some of the iPhone and iPods but you now also do a lot in black. The most popular iPhone colour where I live is black and my iPod touch is also black as are most. It wouldn't cost any more either.

You have a great product, you can make the accessories so much better by watching people use them.

The product is great i got it today, it's brilliant however it a little disapointing that theres nothing else in the box apart from the dock, the white shinny plastic goes well with my incase slider white.

BRILLIANT job apple - Again

No cables ..

Written by LA from Hobro

The product is great .. but two things you should be aware of - first of all, there are no cables in the box (Not for USB or Line Out) - Second, you are not able to control the volume from the phone .. this can only be done on the amplifier, my amplifier is part of the subwoofer, so .. :(

But otherwise a great product - five stars from me !

Amazing!

Written by MC from balerno

I don't see why there are all the bad reviews this is an amazing product and so what if it's not included with the iPhone 3G. I don't mind paying a tiny £19 for this amazing product. I think it's an amazing price for how good it is. And I'm so glad that it works with the iPhone 3G S. And I can't wait till the iPhone 3G S is released and to upgrade to it. Well Done Apple!

Wish I'd read all the reviews first

As many have said, one of these should really have been included in the box, but at £19, I guess I can live with that.

However, what I can't live with is the fact that it doesn't include the USB cable!! I bought two of these (one for home, one for work), thinking that I'd then keep the cable that came with the iPhone for travel use. But I'm now going to have to spend even more on a couple of cables for the docks!

Not good guys. I can't think of any other cradle or dock type of product that doesn't at least include its own connecting cable.

So...lose one star for not including a dock with the iPhone in the first place and lose two more for not including the cable with the dock! Bad Apple!!

Bought this dock for work - it is so good that I am buying another for home. Compact, secure and easy to use phone whilst in dock. Rubber base prevents slippage. Ideal when working at desk. A Great product.

Be careful !

Written by NP from London

Got a protective case on your iPhone ? Then this won't work. You need a UNIVERSAL dock which also comes with a remote. It's an easy mistake to make and even Apple Store Staff get confused. So the 3G Dock has it's limitations so make your choice very carefully.

Does not fit

Written by JC from NORTHWOOD

Apr 17, 2009

Bought it presuming that my iphone 3G would fit in the dock along with an incase casing around the phone, however it doesn't. As a general dock it is fine but shame they don't specify that it will not fit with a case around.

Perfect dock, why not included in the iPhone box?

Written by HH from Kirkkonummi

Apr 13, 2009

Bought this one from the Apple Store, and yes, it's design is very nice, and it works perfect with my iPhone 8GB 3G, I'm happy to not have to charge my iPhone on the desk, where it can get scratches etc.

As cons I like to mention, that this dock should have been included in the iPhone box, or at least the price could have been a bit cheaper.

A great product anyways!

A 16GB iphone doesn't fit!

Written by RD from SWINDON

The iphone keeps jumping out of the dock, and you have to press hard, too hard onto the iphone to get it into the dock, then it quite literally jumps back out again...Not impressed.

Nice

What can say, it holds your iPhone and it looks well docked next to my iMac, don't think it's worth €25 but then its is a Mac product, well made! Had no issues with syncing or charging.

Apple iPhone 3G Dock

No AV out

Written by CR from London

Feb 12, 2009

Bought this dock from the apple store on Regent Street, along with the 'Component AV Cable'. I even spoke to a member of staff to check that everything would work OK. When I got it all set up at home I found that the cable worked fine when connected straight to my iPhone 3G, but it would only charge via the USB connection when in the dock. The audio and video outputs do not work.

I'm astounded that apple can make a product that does not provide the expected. Surely the dock connector would simply pass through the data it is receiving from the ipod/iphone sitting in the dock.

Apparently not.

Poor show apple.

Really good quality, I was surprised at the weight of it! Nice and sturdy and shows off the phone! Just remember that if you have any protective covers, it might not fit while the cover is on.

Apple iPhone 3G Dock

Should have been provided with the iphone!

Written by AM from BROUGH

Jan 26, 2009

Does what it should, great quality, but I am annoyed that it wasn't in the box with my iphone and the price is ridiculous considering that it isn't provided with it's own power adapter or USB cable. Most people don't keep their dock by the computer where they sync their iphone, therefore I'm now going to have to buy another USB cable at the cost of £10 plus p&p because I don't want to be plugging and unplugging one USB cable from one room to another. Why don't Apple just put the price of the phone up and provide these items in the box.
I have only given it 3 stars because of the price and the above issues, the product itself is excellent.

Doesn't do things you'd expect it to

Written by AH from Canterbury

Jan 10, 2009

1. It doesn't stay still when you use the iphone whilst it's in the dock

2. When you plug in the conector that also has the iphone headset, he headset doesn't charge. To get it (and the iphone) to charge simultaneously, you have to connect straight to the iphone; so the dock is redundant.

3. I've got the silicon case for my iphone. I have to take it off to fit it in the dock.
