Is this compatible with iphone 7 using 3.5mm headphones and charging at same time?
I use my iPhone 6+ on my desk a lot and sometimes want a private call with headphones rather than through the mac. As i am thinking of upgrading to iPhone 7+, does this allow iPhone 7 to charge and also plug in headphones for making phone calls?

Will it work with the ipad pro

- Flag as inappropriate (Will it work with the ipad pro)
AnswerBoth the 10.5 and 12.9 iPad Pros are too heavy for this. They will not work (at least not upright, which is the entire purpose of the stand). This is for iPhones, iPods (with lightning ports), and even the AirPods case. I think an iPad mini might work (but I wouldn’t count on it; someone else would have to confirm that)

AnswerI tested it out with a USB-C charger, a power meter tester, and one of these docks that I bought about a year ago. It does work, but fast charging (power delivery) is not enabled when going through the dock.

- Flag as inappropriate (Will the new iphone dock work with my iphone 6 in a tech21 case?)
Best Answer:I have just bought an iPhone 6S with this case and confirm that it does NOT work, as the case prevents it entering all the way into the charing port - so can't use it without taking off the case, which I am not going to do!

Can you control the volume with the headphone remote?

- Flag as inappropriate (Can you control the volume with the headphone remote?)
AnswerWhen you have headphones connected tothe jack on the back of the dock, it works the same as your headphones will work when they're connected to the phone directly. All audio, music, calls, podcasts, etc, will still go to the headphones and still can be controlled with the volume buttons.

How heavy is the iPhone dock?
Most iPhone docks are fairly light, which means that users have to use one hand to remove an iPhone while using the other hand to keep the dock on the table, nightstand, or other surface. Only a few iPhone docks seem to be heavy and dense enough that users can take their iPhones off of the dock without needing to use their other hand.

AnswerI don't have a scale to give an exact measurement however this weighs about as much as my iPhone 6s does without a case. Maybe a tad lighter. It has a nice rubber grip on the bottom and I can easily remove my phone from the dock with one hand by grabbing from the bottom of the phone and supporting the dock with my pinky.

Can you plug in Apple EarPods / AirPods to the back of the dock and then take phone calls?
I use my headphones for 100% of my calls, and my work iPhone never leaves my desk. I thought this might be a nice solution as long as I can still make headphone calls while docked.

AnswerYes, that would work by hooking up headphones to the back of the dock. It works just like headphones being connected to the phone itself, so anything like music/podcasts/phone calls will automatically go to the headset.

Answer
No, unfortunately this dock is not compatible with large cases such as Lifeproof cases. It only works with slim cases (or, of course, with no case at all).
