Audio systems with iPhone / iPad dock interface (lighting)

Dock iOS (8-pin, lighting)

— docking station for connecting portable Apple gadgets (primarily iPhone and iPad), compatible with 8-pin Lightning connector.

By itself, the dock is a special socket with a connector in which you can install a mobile phone (or other gadget), thus connecting it to the sound system. This is often easier and more convenient than using a cable, and it also allows to use various additional features — for example, control the player on a smartphone through the remote control of the audio system. Specifically, the 8-pin Lightning is a universal connector used in Apple gadgets since 2012. At the same time, some audio systems with such an interface also have a 30-pin connector for older gadgets.
