Overview

With the iPhone 3G Dock, you get easy access to a USB port for syncing or charging and an audio line out port for connecting to powered speakers. You can even conduct speakerphone calls with your iPhone 3G or iPhone 3G S in its dock.

Here are some ways you can use the iPhone 3G Dock:

  • Connect the dock to your computer with the USB cable that came with your iPhone 3G, then place your iPhone 3G in the dock to sync and charge the battery. No more reaching behind the computer to plug it in.
  • Connect the dock to an electrical outlet using an Apple USB Power Adapter (included with your iPhone 3G), then place your iPhone 3G in the dock to charge the battery.
  • Connect the dock to a stereo or speakers using an AV cable or a stereo audio cable to play music from iPhone 3G.
  • Place your iPhone 3G in the dock and enjoy clear audio during speaker phone calls thanks to special audio porting.

    Must Have Accessory - Why Wasn't It In The Box, Apple?

    Written by FN from FRASERBURGH

    14-Jul-2008

    At the weekend, I went into town to TRY and find an iPhone 3G which I wanted so much. After much trailing round the various O2 and Carphone Warehouse shops I eventually found one... Great!

    So, I took it home, opened the box and started having a little rummage around and what did I find? Well... everything apart from a dock. I know how useful these docks can be, my sister owns the first generation iPhone and its serves its purpose as a great little stand for using while at the computer (it saves the back getting scratched too!)

    I had to get one. So back into town I went, and (luckily) the Carphone Warehouse had them :) It's a sturdy piece of kit which is deceptively heavy (in a good way) and you won't find yourself worrying about if it is a safe place ti keep your phone.

    All-in-all, a must have for iPhone owners... But it should have been included in the box!     …More

    No AV out from this dock

    Written by GB from CAMBRIDGE

    31-Jul-2008

    Warning - I bought one of these and a new Apple Composite AV cable to dock and connect my iPhone to an in-car entertainment system for audio and video output. The cable on its own works great but the dock BLOCKS both the video and audio outputs from the 30-pin connector on the back so nothing works.

    On the Apple website it does say that video output is not supported from this dock, but mentions nothing about blocking the audio from the 30-pin connector too! And neither the store staff nor the packaging told me any of this anyway.

    I have no clue why Apple would not just pass through the 30-pin connection from the phone to the back of the dock, but they don't. Apparently the Universal Dock does allow AV through, but then it does block the microphone and speaker on the bottom of the iPhone so it's useless for speakerphone calls - and it will cost me another £10 for another power adapter I don't need (got one with the phone and one with the AV cable so far).

    So that's £50 spent on two accessories which don't work together but are both 'compatible' with iPhone 3G, and fail to do the job a £2.99 cable from Maplin would do if Apple hadn't encyrption-protected the AV output on the iPhone.

    Not great, and I speak as a long-term Apple fan.     …More

    Useful but should have been included with phone

    Written by SW from BIRMINGHAM

    13-Jul-2008

    It is simple and practical. If you spend large portions of your day in front of a computer then the dock makes perfect sense. When your iPhone is docked, it is still fully functional and easily viewable at a quick glance (and it will be fully charge when you need it on the go.)
    Whilst I personally feel that is should have been included with the iPhone (ala first gen iPhone), I can think of worse thing to spend £19 on. Non essential but highly recommended.     …More

    Great piece of kit

    Written by RI from lockerbie

    04-Oct-2009

    I wasn't sure whether I liked this dock or not when i seen it on the website, but when it arrived at my house i fell in love with it. It looks beautiful-as do all apple products-and fits the phone perfectly. One thing i really like about it is the 3.5 mill line out on the back. This is great as you can connect it to almost anything to play music. I bought the bose soundock for my iPod video and my iPhone does play music through it, but won't charge which was a bit of a bummer. This dock sorts the problem i had of not being able to play music and charge at the same time.
    5 stars.
    Well done apple-again!!     …More

    Longer Please!!

    Written by SS from Atherton

    26-Sep-2009

    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. …More

    Good but could be a lot better very easily.

    Written by JL from Rochdale

    20-Aug-2009

    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.     …More
