1/4/2024 0 Comments Iphone connector audio uselessIts fairly obvious that apple is not going to fix this Making money is one thing, but this is an immoral way to do it. I am really starting to wonder how much apple regards their customers because it is moves like this that really make me question if they do care about making a quality product or just craping something out to get a new revenue stream. They established a standard and now they have destroyed my confidence in their standard. I have a stereo from less than 2 years ago that is designed to work with an ipod and now i can’t use it? It sounds to me like a lot of people have a lot more expensive and newer audio systems that are now useless.Īpple claimed years ago that they were switching to the dock connector from a standard firewire so that you could get a slew of accessories and you would know they would work. I imagine that a lot of the ones that created products are pretty ppeved right now because a bunch of angry (and rightly so) customers are going to come knocking on their door blaming them. Look, this was not something that was “writing on the wall” how can accesory manufacturers be expected to predict this move. I mean, I would like to hear one actual reason that is a good enough one to warrant, in one fell swoop, making near every device created for the ipod family up until now obselete. This really sounds like it warrants a class action lawsuit against apple. So be careful and do you research before you purchase a charger for your iPhone. It should also be noted that certain car chargers that work for the iPod will not work for the iPhone 3G either for the exact same reasons as the players. I will try to compile a list of compatible players in the near future. So far I can confirm that the iPhone 3G will not charge on some mStation and XtremeMac devices – although it will work on the XtremeMac Luna. Apple has abandoned Firewire as a method of charging iPods and iPhones starting with the iPhone 3G, and as a result any devices that used the Firewire method of charging will no longer work with the iPhone 3G. UPDATE: As you can see in the comments the reason for this has been explained. So what’s going on here? What is it inside the new iPhone that makes this an impossible thing to do? Any ideas? Original iPhones with the iPhone 2.0 software update still work just fine. I have tried every one that I have in my house, including mStation, and others – and when you connect them, you get a message that says “charging is not supported with this accessory”. You can’t charge the device on an iPod Audio system. The iPhone 3G has a few drawbacks when comparing it to the original iPhone – the biggest of which (for me anyway) is one that I just discovered tonight.
