Here's what I'm looking for: We have 4 iphones, an ipad mini and an older ipad (pre lightning). Can I use any/all ports for any/all of these device?

Yes, I have used it with my iPad Air, iPhone 5S, iPhone 4S, and a bluetooth headset. All charging at once.
1702808
Yes. It works for any device that has USB cable to charge the device. I charge iPhones, iPads, Bluetooth headphones etc with it.

Yes you can but need to use your cord that came with ipad. You can charge 5 devices at once

No. This dock uses the old 30-pin docking connector, not the "Lightning" connector on the iPhone 5 and iPad4 & 5.

Yes in fact you can use it as a charging port for your devices. I went on a road trip and used it to charge multiple devices simultaneously. It does not matter if the devices are Apple or not, they their own charger but the other end is a regular usb plug.

I doubt that it can be used to charge from all ports at the same time, I have only charged my roommate's I-Pod. I suspect it can only do 2-3 at a time at the most.

Not exactly sure how it shares out the power over the ports. I can say that you can charge an iPad and an iPhone at the same time using both ports. Though only one port will charge the iPad when both ports are in use.

Yes. All the ports have 5V out and 2 ports have up to 2A out. Your ipad 4 will charge normally on the 2A ports. It will charge slower than normal on the 1A ports.

You can use all the ports for most devices with success. However the Samsung port is wired for Samsung devices such that they will get normal charging speeds. Otherwise your Samsung will charge at a perhaps different and maybe very much slow charge rate. Also the iPads iPhones will charge very quickly on the iPad port as it is wired for Apple's high speed charging capability but which Samsung cannot use in a speedy fashion.

Yes, it could charge two iPhones instead of one iPhone and one iPad. However, it is set up for the old iPhone connection (the one that was the same as the iPad connection), so you'll need adapters if you have a newer phone.

Unfortunately not. All 5 slots are configured with the 30 pin male plugs. You can however use the Apple 30 to 8 pin adapters. You will be able to charge the new devices using these adapters but they don't stand up quite as well and this approach doesn't work the iPads as they are too tall/heavy to stand up on the adapter. Hope this helps.

Yes, the iPad mini uses the same TRRS connection as the iPhone, iPod, and regular iPad, so it ought to work fine.

You can plug in 2 devices, just do not exceed the amp limit for the port. An iPad can only go on the 2 amp port.

I do not know anything about apple devices but do know it seems to multiplex devices connected to the 7-Port USB hub. By Multiplex I mean it takes an extremely long time to transfer data through the 7-Port Hub as each port gets a slice of time to transmit whether it has anything connected to it or not - rendering it useless for my purposes.

For iPad, you have to use the port labeled for iPad (ports 1&3) because iPad required 5V, 2.1A input. Other devices it doesn't matter.

I'm sorry that I can't answer your question. We have apple products but there are several different ports which may work. This has been a great product for our family, so I hope you someone else can answer this for you.

I have the 4 port version which has 1 dedicated charging port, I haven't tried charging with the other ports for anything but my Bluetooth earpiece. If the 7 port has 2 dedicated charging ports than you should be able to charge 2 iPads along with other devices that charge off of normal USB ports. Bit, again, I have the 4 port version with 1 charging port and I've only ever charged 1 i-device at a time.

Yes, anything that has a USB end to plug into the unit! I do 2 iPhone a 3S n 4, n 2 iPad a regular n mini all @ the same time! I love it!
