Apple iPhone 3G Dock

Good dock

Written by TG from VIRGINIA BEACH

Apr 26, 2009

This is a good dock for the iPhone 3G, it allows the phone to stand up while charging giving you a good view of the screen for incoming text messages and the like. The only criticism I have is that it did not come with another USB charging cable so you can keep the dock connected to your computer and have a travel USB charging cable for on the go charging. It would also be nice if the dock accommodated charging the Apple iPhone Bluetooth headset like the first gen iPhone dock.

Apple iPhone 3G Dock

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 14, 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!

Apple iPhone 3G Dock

Not worth the money

Written by CG from Puebla

Apr 11, 2009

For 29 USD, what you get is a simple dock, that is no more useful than the usb cable alone, apart from it's looks when it is in your desk (and it doesn't include an extra cable).. If the 30 pin connector would allow for video output, this would be a whole different story.. but it's not the case. For 20 USD more, you can get the universal dock, which is capable of doing video output, includes an apple remote controller and also gives you the neat looks on your desk.

A dock this simple, should be offered in the phone's package, just like the first iphone, in which it was a nice addition.. not an expensive, almost useless accessory like this one.

Well designed and works as described.

I especially like the sound ports built into this dock. You can listen to music or podcasts in a quiet room without external speakers or amps. Using the iPhone hands free also works well. Well done.

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.

Will not work with protective cases

Written by RH from colorado springs

I received this as a gift and can't believe that apple wasn't forward thinking enough to design it for use with protective cases. In order to use it I have to remove my case.

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.

No Apple Remote support

Would deserve a 4 Star, if there is a IR receiver and works with Apple Remote.

Apple iPhone 3G Dock

No A/V pass thru

Written by BN from Apple Valley

Mar 3, 2009

Like many others...a little disappointed that the iPhone dock doesn't allow A/V pass-thru. Why would you not create the dock specifically designed for the iPhone to capitalize on all it's features??

Sorry...this was a big miss.

I like the overall design of the dock, also it has a 3.5mm audio out for your external speakers. Little costly but a must to have for your iphone :)

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.

Fantastic!

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.

What!? The dock cancels volume control via phone?

Written by JB from Teaneck

Feb 7, 2009

Dock is fine in every respect, accept that volume can only be controlled using volume knob on the powered speakers connected to the dock.

What's up with that?

I bought the dock for looks and convenience for my desk at work.

I have the universal dock at home, which comes with a remote and outputs video. I believe I have the option of controlling volume on the phone or with the remote.

I am very surprised that it appears that the volume control on the phone is disengaged when the phone is in the dock and the dock is connected to powered speakers via the audio out port on the dock.

That's not the case with the universal dock (but who wants to spend $50 even a first time much less a second time for a dock); or when the phone is in the dock but the speakers are connected via the phone's headphone port (which set-up is pretty ugly-looking).

Hopefully, there is a correction for what i am experiencing or I suspect I will be taking the dock back.

Apple iPhone 3G Dock

Maybe worth $5

Written by MB from Baton Rouge

Feb 1, 2009

I was given this, so not like it matters... But, it is pretty much pointless, because it doesn't come with an extra USB cable. The whole purpose of this should be to provide an extra connection to your computer, but instead to have to run around with the cable that came with the iPhone from the outlet to the computer. Cmon Apple, these are exhorbently overpriced to begin with. Give us something useful instead of nickle and diming us. I wish Blackberry was as good as iPhone so I didn't have to get overcharged so much.

Should have been provided with the iphone!

Written by AM from BROUGH

Jan 27, 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.
