Can you purchase an adapter for the iPhone 5? I love these speakers and don't want to have to purchase new ones.

My Altec did not last very long. I used it often. My IPOD was "wiggly" in the slot and was always cutting off. After i had to make a"adjustments", it did not last long. I say about 18 months and it was all over.

Hello, I love this Altec as well. However, I do not believe that the iPhone 5 will be comparable with it. I don't know of any adapter out as of now. In the future they just may make one. A shame it's not out now. Hope this helps. Michael C.

I have heard the iPhone 5 is smaller than the iPhone 4. If that is the case I'm sure it will not work with this SoundDock adapter. I would suggest you do a Google search for an iPhone 5 Bose SoundDock adapter to replace this one. If you cannot find one online then you may have to call Bose to find out about replacing it.

I use them with my iphone which has the same type of headphone jack as my laptop. I do not need an adapter, they work very well.

An I phone 5 can power them fine. I use mine plugged into nothing but my computer pot second gen iPod with no external amp and I still get rich lows, clear mids, and detailed highs.

Yes, you can charge an iphone 5. I purchased a small lightning adaptor and it works fine. I think I paid $6 for the adaptor.

Yes and No it does not support an iPhone 5 because it has a 30 pin adapter however you can work around this issue. You can use an auxiliary cable. You would connect the cable to headphone input on your iPhone 5 and then connect the other end to the audio in jack on the speaker system. Or you can buy an adapter that you attach to the old 30 pin connector the new connector is at the top of the adapter and you simply attach your iPhone 5 and then your music will play through your system. Auxiliary cables are the cheaper option you can find them for around $5 where as the 30 pin to lightning adapter runs around $30.

I'm not sure because I don't have an iPhone but it fits the older model iPods. I believe you would have to have an adapter if you have the lightning quick plug or there is a newer model of speaker that fits the newer iPhones. I first bought the new speaker & there isn't an adapter made to downsize so I had to buy this speaker. Quality is great.

Hi, sadly it does not work with iPhone 5 or later, it uses 30 pin connector but I am sure you could use an adapter

Definitely not without an adapter. The dock connector on this model works great with iPhone 4, but won't fit the lightning connector in the iPhone 5. You can use a cable with 3.5mm headphone jack on each end connecting your phone's headphone jack with the Sony's auxilliary input--but it won't charge, of course. Sony makes a different model with Bluetooth or Airplay connecticity. That wont charge your phone either, though.

You could get a bluetooth adapter like the MPOW adapter to make it work with your 5. This is what I have.Mpow Bluetooth A2DP Music Audio Receiver Adapter for Bose Sounddock and 30-Pin iPod iPhone Dock Speaker

No... and yes. No, the dock is for the older style pre iPhone 5 connector. However, this dock broke on mine about a month after having it anyway. Oh, and the Phillips software is a joke. The good news is that if you find a refurbished one for $50 it's a good powered speaker. You just have to connect it to the headphone jack of your device.

I doubt it is compatible with iPhone5 unless you have an adapter. Doesn't the 5 have a different plug? Plus an apple iOS update made the speakers stop working and it just became a big charging unit. I would look for something else.

I don't think that you can. if what you have is a iPhone, iPad, ipod buy an adapter from Amazon

You will need the iPhone 5 adapter to work with this. I purchased one and it works great.

The Apple Store has them, $40 I think, I use it with mine. I have some off-brand adapters that are cheaper, but they don't seem to work with the unit.

No. You can only hook up an iPhone 5 with an AUX cord. I loves this stereo for about 3 weeks, but then it just stopped working. Not sure if I got a dud, or if others have the same issue... Cool look, and good sound... Until it breaks.

gave this as gift. i would assume that you need the adapter since it was made before the iphone 5 came out.
