Close on the heels of the launch of new
15-inch MacBook Pro and cheaper iMac
with Retina 5K display, Apple has also
quietly added a new Lightning Dock for
the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus. This
official dock, which will work with any
iPhone (or iPod touch) that has a
Lightning port, is priced at a $39
(approximately Rs. 2,500).
The Cupertino tech giant has launched
this dock a full nine months after the ne
iPhones were announced. The dock has
a fairly basic boxy design made entirely
of plastic. And of course, it comes in
Apple's signature white colour. The dock
has a single male Lightning connector
rising from its top part and it is placed
on a mound to handle the weight of the
device. The raised bump should enable
you to place your phone on the dock
even if it has a case.
On the rear, the dock also has a
Lightning female port for connecting a
charger, as well as a port which can be
used to insert a headphone with a
3.5mm jack. This helps you connect the
dock to a computer with the USB cable t
sync the iPhone and charge its battery,
additionally to have handsfree
conference calls, and to also connect it
to powered speakers or a stereo.
Apple also recently updated the 15-inch
MacBook Pro with Retina display, adding
the Force Touch trackpad, faster SSDs,
and improved battery life. Even the new
model of the iMac with Retina 5K Display
now has a cheaper variant with a slightl
slower CPU and GPU priced at Rs.
1,59,000.
