Does this work to charge an iphone5? (I just want to ensure Apple hasn't cooked up some proprietary signal)

I don't have an "i"-anything but if the i5 can plug in to a computer usb, it should work in this.

My iPad 2 charges fine. According to Wikipedia, iDevices charge like this: "When D+ = D&#8722; = 2.0 V, the device may pull up to 500 mA. When D+ = 2.0 V and D&#8722; = 2.8 V, the device may pull up to 1 A of current. When D+ = 2.8 V and D&#8722; = 2.0 V, the device may pull up to 2 A of current." I measured my USB charger just now (purchased a few months ago) and I got these values in order: 5 V , 2.8 V, 2.0 V, 0 V. This corresponds to D- (pin 2) = 2.8 V and D+ (pin 3) = 2.0 V. This means an iDevice would limit its pull to 1 A. The problem with this is that it follows Apple's method of telling a device how much power is available. So other phone/tablets may not know how much is available and will only pull 500 mA. For my phone, I purchased a special USB charging cable which shorts the D+ and D- pins on the phone side (NOT the charger side). This tells my phone that it can pull more than 500 mA. Using this method, I'm not sure how the phone knows if it can pull 900 mA, 1 A, 1.5 A, or 2 A.

It works for mine, though the cable I have will sometimes cause the "incompatible accessory" message. A genuine Apple cable (or an approved third-party cable) would prevent that.

My wife has an Iphone 4S and it charges that but I haven't tried an Iphone 5, sorry.

Yes. Apple did cook up a proprietary scheme, but this component contains a circuit that puts the right voltages on the data pins to charge Apple devices at 1A, same as the small charger that came with your iPhone 5.

It does not charge my iPhone, I've tried. I imagine it would not charge any other devices either. I believe the USB port is used solely for flash drives.

I do not have an Iphone 5 to test the charger. However, this charger should be able to charge the Iphone 5 according to the info from this link..check it out and see. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3511

The USB ports will charge an iPhone just fine. We have had many of these units installed at our office used by a multitude of different devices and none of them have had a problem.

Courtney, I am not sure what kind of connector the iPhone5 has but this has an Apple connector on one end or you can use a cable pluged into the USB port on the device. I have an Android phone and I have not run into any issues with it not haveing enough power to charge it.

Yes it does charge the iPhone 5, I have an adapter to micro USB and together they work wonders The charger charges the iPhone faster than when connected to an outlet.

This product comes with a plug-in USB port, so, yes, you can charge your iPhone 5 so long as you have your USB charger cable. I've never actually tried to charge my cell phone with this, so I can't answer your second question.

I'm not sure. I've had issues with the iPhone 5 adapters. And if you've upgraded to iOS 7 there's even more issues as they detect knock-off cords, chargers etc so I've just resorted to using my regular charge cord. I don't have any problems then. Hope that helps.

I do not own an iPhone, but my daughter charges her Nano on it. I believe is the same connection so it should work.

I don't have an iPhone 5 but I have an iPad mini which uses the same lightning to USB cable. It charges the mini in both the 2.1 and 1.0 amp ports. It should charge the iPhone 5 as well. Plus in the 2.1 port you'll find that it charges very quickly.

yes. I don't know what the charger output rating is, but the dock seems to charge the iphone5 more quickly than the Apple supplied iphone wall charger.

It charged my iphone 4 and it should charge the 5. it is a USB connection. I have an Iphone 5 now and will give it a try this weekend.

Hello. Yes, this charger will charge an iPhone 5, but it does come with a cable for the iPhone 5. You would have to use your own cable to charge it. Thank you.

The charger itself would have to work, as it is a standard USB inlet. The iPhone 5 has a new pin set up on the phone side, but plugs into any standard USB plug.

Am not sure what you mean - this adapter is made to convert the iPhone 5 to the same connection as the previous iPhone charging ports. If what you mean is - you have a "non" Apple cable and want it to work with this adapter - it may or may not. I have some "non" Apple chargers and cables - and there are times I get the error message, "your device cannot be charged with this item." Sorry this isn't much help.

I've used it to charge my iPhone several times with no problems. The cord it comes with is for charging the charger itself. You will need your phones USB cord to charge your phone.

When I plug it into the apple charger it works fine. When I plug it into the Belkin charger I have sometimes a "this may be an unsupported device" message comes up. The phone still charges fine regardless. I get the same message with that charger and an apple cable. I think this cable will cause you no problems at all. I use it for I phone 5 and my wife has one for the higher end I pad.
