Apple didn’t announce these at the keynote today, but you can finally buy first-party docks for your iPhone again. The iPhone 5s and 5c docks are now available on the Apple Store. The ship date is currently unknown but they will be available in stores on the 20th for $29 each. The 5s dock will also work with the iPhone 5.

Any ideas as to why 5 will only be compatible with the 5S dock and not the c? casing? voltages or other power specs?
The 5c has an entirely different body design. They won’t fit in the same dock.

If you use a off brand cord to charge your iPhone, it might work for awhile. Then you start getting an error “the cord is not a compatible cord” and it will not charge or transmit data. A new low for Apple. In order to charge their product you must use a Apple cord. I no longer have a Apple product.
