what's the difference between a 30 pin and a lightening dock?

The 30 pin connector is the original docking connector for Apple devices. The lightning connector is used on the newest Apple products like the iPhone 5 and the newest iPods and iPads. There is an adapter available from Apple that converts the lightning connector to the original 30 pin connector.

No. The dock itself has a 30 pin connector port to fit the supplied cable. The other end of the cable is standard USB.

Older ones only. We ordered this item and it had the 30 pin attachment, not Lightening.

So sorry for the delay with this response... We use this with our iphone 4s and also with our ipad and it works great! I plug it into my Samung charger and then into the iphone. I am not sure what you mean by the 'lightening connector' as this is more for converting a samsung like charger to a 30 pin Apple connector, not an 8 pin lightening connector. I hope this helps!

No, you need a 30 pin to lighting pin adaptor. Sold at the Apple Store and elsewhere.

From what I understand it is. If you have a Bad Eld with a 30 pin connector you can purchase a 30 pin to Lightning connector from Apple Store or other vendors. Apple is best source since you have assurance it will work with no problem.

Lightning connector works with iPhone 5 and newer while the 30 pin works with the iPhone 4s and older. There are adapters to convert 30 pin to Lightning but from what I have read, they do not always work. Also, Lightening connector works with the iPad 4 and newer (iPad Air and iPad Air 2) while 30 pin works with older.

No, but you can get an adapter at radio shack that sits on the 30 pin adapter and converts it to the lightening adapter to fit the iPad 4 and it will make it so your iPad will sit on the dock.

Should be with the lightening port. I use the 5S. Great unit for the money. Be hire noise every night to help us sleep.

No, it will not fit into a 30 pin, you will need the apple converter adapter that goes from 30 down to lightning style, sorry

You would need the lightning to 30 pin adaptor that Apple makes to use the dock but you will be able to use the Bluetooth which would be better anyway.

You'll need to get the now common lightning to 30-pin adapter to be able to use it.

It is the older 30 pin connectors - not the lightening connector. I have a 5 cord that I use with it perfectly

It has the lightning prong vs the 30 pin prong that is on the older models.
