Checking out the New Lightning Docks for iPhone 6s and 6s Plus

Hey guys, it's Mike here from The Detroit Borg, and welcome back to my channel. Today, I'm excited to share with you my thoughts on the new lightning docks for the iPhone 6s and 6s plus. As some of you may remember, I did a review of the white plastic iPhone lightening dock back in the day, which was a universal dock that worked with any iPhone that had a lightning connector. It also worked with iPod touches, iPod nanos, iPad minis, and iPad airs.

Now, these new metal lightning docks are priced at $49, which is $10 more than the white plastic one. The main reason for this price increase is that they're made of metal, whereas the previous one was made of plastic. These new docks come in three finishes: silver, gold, and rose gold. I have to say, I'm a big fan of the way these look. They match the colors of the current iPhone 6s and 6s plus, which is great.

When it comes to unboxing, the process is quite simple. The docks come in a standard box with a pull tab on the back. To open the lid, you just need to pull the tab down, and voila! You'll find your dock neatly nestled in its tray, wrapped in plastic. All you need to do is peel off the plastic, and you're good to go.

As I mentioned earlier, these docks are universal, meaning they'll work with any lightning device that will sit on them. So, if you have an iPod touch 5th generation or a gold iPhone 5s, for example, this dock will work perfectly with it. However, please note that these docks aren't limited to the iPhone 6s and 6s plus only. They'll also work with other lightning devices.

One thing to keep in mind when using these docks is that they can be a bit cumbersome at first. It takes some time to get used to lining up the lightning port with your phone, especially when you can't see them connecting. Sometimes, you might even scrape the edges of your phone, but don't worry, it gets easier over time.

On a more positive note, these docks are weighted and wide enough so that they won't knock over easily. This is great news for anyone who wants to keep their dock on their desk or table without worrying about it toppling over. And, as an added bonus, the rubber foot at the bottom of the dock grips your surface perfectly, ensuring that your dock stays put.

Now, I know some of you might be thinking, "What about stability?" Well, let me tell you, these docks are great in terms of stability. They're designed to work seamlessly with your device, and they won't cause any vibrations or rattle. Plus, the slightly angled lightning connector helps prevent muffled sound, so you can enjoy your music or podcasts without any distortion.

In conclusion, I'm really impressed with these new lightning docks for the iPhone 6s and 6s plus. They're designed to work seamlessly with your device, they're made of high-quality materials, and they come in three stylish finishes. Whether you have an Apple case or a third-party case, these docks will still work perfectly with it.

I'm excited to put my hands on all four colors - silver, gold, rose gold, and space gray - as soon as they become available. I'll be reviewing them in-depth in my next video, so stay tuned for that.

this year I did a review of the white plastic iphone lightening dock which was a universal dock that basically worked with any iPhone that has a lightning connector that also works for iPod Touches or even the iPod Nano it also even works with the iPad Mini or the iPad air but it is a little unstable at that size now at $49 these are $10 more than the white lightning dock and that's because these are metal with the finishes of the new iPhone 6s and 6s plus so we have silver gold Space Gray and rose gold which is a new color with the iPhone so getting to the unboxing again very simple box here we have a pull tab on the back so we can pop open the lid pulling out the tray will find the dock neatly nestled in its tray wrapped in a prosthetic so all we have to do is peel off that plastic and we're ready to go we do get some paperwork highlighting its uses the warranty information and that sort of thing we do not get a lightning connector charge or anything like that because all of that comes with your iPhone so long the back we'll find our lightning connector along with an audio output so you can connect the set of headphones or you can connect a set of external speakers toward the top we'll find our slightly angled lightning connector with this little bumper right below it which provides some distance between the Lightning connector and the base so you don't muffle the speakers and this allows it to work with certain cases so for example this will work with Apple cases and some third party cases like a speck CandyShell or some speaking cases but of course this isn't universal it really depends on the design of the third party case toward the bottom we have this nice rubber foot which grips a table and as always the dock is slightly weighted for stability now if you look really closely here you can see Apple has paid a lot of attention to the smallest details so if you look at that bumper around the Lightning connector it's actually color matched to the antenna insulators on the phone so for example with space grey it's a darker grey or with silver it's a lighter grey and with the rose gold or the gold colors it's completely white just like on the iPhone so I really like that attention to detail here and it does make a difference and a take a look at the finishes here these again reveal the colors of the iPhones which at the time of this video have not been released yet but if we look at the docks here we can see that the space gray is pretty much identical to the space gray on the current iPhone 6 and 6s so unfortunately that means we don't get the new darker Space Gray we've seen with the new iPod Touch and the Apple watch sport same with the gold the gold is the same color that's available on the current iPhones as well as the iPads and the Mac books and of course silver is just raw aluminum so that's pretty much carried over but we do get the new rolls gold which does match the rose gold on the Apple watch sport I just reviewed now in case it's not clear these are Universal docks so these will work with any Lightning devices that will sit on it so for example if you have an iPod Touch 5th generation this will work just fine with it or if you have a gold iPhone 5s and want to match it with this new dock you can certainly go ahead and do that so this is not limited to the iPhone 6s or 6s plus in any way now as I said in my original review it is a little cumbersome to use this dock because it's hard to line up the Lightning port with the phone especially when you can't see them connecting and sometimes you scrape the edges of the phone but you do get used to it over time and find the right spot to line up now in terms of stability it's great again it's weighted and it's wide enough so it won't knock over easily now technically they do work with the iPads but it's not very stable and not recommended so in the end I really like these and of course I'll be using these in my iPhone 6s and 6s plus reviews and I do have all four colors for each phone coming so we can take a look at them on these docks in that video so stay tuned for that make sure you're subscribed if you liked this video please
