Apple's back in the pricey iPhone dock business

<article>
   <section class="page">
<p>Apple has just released a new iPhone dock, and like any other Apple product, you’ll pay a premium for its extreme simplicity.</p><p>The “iPhone Lightning Dock (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MGRM2AM/A/iphone-lightning-dock)” costs $39, and works with any Lighting-equipped iPhone (including the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus) or iPod Touch. It’s a simple slab of white plastic, with a wide enough base to work with reasonably-sized iPhone cases. It also has an audio line-out port, so you can hook up external speakers through any 3.5 mm cable (sold separately, of course.)</p><p>This isn’t the first Lightning Dock that Apple has sold for the iPhone. In 2013, the company released a pair of docks for the iPhone 5s and 5c, but neither are compatible with other iPhones. The new one is universal, at the expense of a more form-fitted base.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2924044/apples-back-in-the-pricey-iphone-dock-business.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
