Does this work directly with the iPhone5? Can I plug it directly into the iPhone 5 to charge or do I need a separate adapter?

This worked with my 5s for months but suddenly stopped working, I get a message saying the cable is not compatible.

It is a direct replacement of the original Apple cable that came with your iPhone 5. The only noticeable difference is that the amazonbasics cable has a larger footprint when viewed from above the Lightning plug. See the custom photos, I've uploaded a photo showing both plugs from above the plug. You can see how the amazonbasics plug is both wider and thicker than the Apple plug.

Yes. That's the purpose of this cable. iPhone 5 and last generation iPads (4 and Mini)

I purchased this cable (and another model by a different manufacturer) shortly after the 5s came out. This works really well with the iPhone. The one issue I had with the cable was that the connection is a bit big so it wouldn't work with the leather 5s case from Apple. (Well, it didn't work until I got a file and narrowed the connection a bit!)

use your standard USB-Iphone 5 cord and plug it into the USB jack. The micro-usb port is used to charge the device

You'll have to have the plug adapter unless it specifies it is for the iPhone 5. I bought it when I had to iPhone 4s however when I upgraded from a 4 to 5 I had to buy the adapter. My husband still has the iPhone 4 so it will charge both phones simultaneously. There may be a newer version but I don't have it but I would assume it would charge simultaneously on that as well. I hope this helps.

Works with iPhone 4! Doesn't work with iPhone 5 unless you get the adapter.

No, this would allow you to use a Micro USB 2.0 cord (Like for charging other older Phones/ eReader/ Nook/ Kindle) to charge older iPhones/iPod touch etc. The iPhone 5 uses something called a "lightning" cord. You want an Apple Lightning to 30-Pin Adapter.

Yes works fine with iphone 5. I ordered a special half inch lightning to usb cable but the regular lightning to USA works fine just have to tie it up.

What kind of adapter will I need to use this for my iphone 5? I just received this item and didn't realize it was only for iphone 4

Actually, I own an iphone 4, so I haven't really tried it with an iphone 5 and an adapter. Sorry. As far as I can tell you, it does charge and play music and the item is great for the price, really great..

It is not specifically made for an iPhone (no lightning connector). But you can charge any USB device including iPhones by plugging their factory charging cable into this devices USB port. But if you are looking for a portable charger that directly fits the iPhone 5 lightning connector then you will have to look elsewhere. Hope this helps clear things up a little.

No, you'll need a 'Lightning' connector to use with an iPhone 5. This one has a Micro USB connection. Workaround: Get this and a Micro USB to Lightning Adapter.

No, unfortunately it uses the plug-in system of the iPhone 4/4S, and the iPod touch 4, and everything before that. However, you can still buy an adapter to put onto the dock, and then plug your iPhone 5 directly into the adapter and it'll work just fine. The one in this link looks like a good one:http://www.amazon.com/Zeimax-SUPPORT-ADAPTER-30-Pin-iPhone/dp/B00D9U3M5S/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid;=1383534980&sr;=8-3&keywords;=iphone+5+adapterGood luck with your decision! Let me know if you have any questions

It will charge the iPhone 5 via the USB port, but there is no dedicated "Lightning 8-pin" cable. You will certainly have to buy an adapter that will connect with the older iPhone connector, or just be OK with connecting it directly to the USB

I've never used it on my iphone 5, but I use it on my iphone 6 plus and it charges a lot faster. Charging with the adapter that comes with the iphone 6 plus just takes way too long, which is probably because of the bigger battery. So if it charges my iphone 6 plus, I would assume it charges the iphone 5 a bit faster. You also don't have to worry about it messing up your battery because according to the apple site, this charger is compatible with the iphone 5 and 6. So yes, this would be a better option to charge your iphone 5 only because it charges just a bit faster and you can always use it on your ipad too.

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.

This was a gift i purchased for someone so I'm not the user. From what i have read as long as the USB hub comes with a USB cable you should be able to plug it into the charger. The cable that comes with the charger is for the iPhone 5 and is removable. The port on the charger is universal so you should be able to plug in any USB cable and charge a device.

The charging won't because the iphone 5 uses a different size charger input thingy, but the transmitter will just plug in the cord where your headphones go on your cell an you're good to go. But actually if u want to charger ur phone this device has two extra USB ports on the side and you can just plug in your own USB cable that came with your iphone 5 and plug it in. I found this very weird! But I tried it with my own USB charger and it worked just as well.

I am not sure if it will work with the iPhone 5. I have the 4 and my husband has the 4s and it works with out an adaptor. It also works with iPods. It does charge the phone when it is in use and when it isn't in use. I love it! We also used it for our wedding (cheaper then a dj) and we had an outside wedding, and the sound was amazing!!!
