Adapting iPhone 5 to Old Docks Brings Two Answers

Share

Ideas can be life changing. An idea’s impact can result into a massive wave that literally redefines the world as we know it. The introduction of the Apple iPod and the subsequent iPhone revolutionized the way many listen to music, view videos, and communicate. Sometimes a little modification may bring many ideas to adapt new reasoning with the old. A prime example is the recent introduction of new iPod models and the iPhone 5.

When Apple introduced the iPhone 5 and the new 2012 iPod models, there was a tumultuous reaction when Apple discontinued the traditional 30-pin connector and introduced a much smaller, incompatible Lightning adapter that suits the new, thinner styles. People love the refinements of the iPhone 5 but are shocked that the iPhone 5 does not fit into the old docks. That means the hundreds of iPhone dock radios and speaker models are now obsolete, if you decided to upgrade to the iPhone 5.

Apple’s engineers quelled the masses by introducing a Lightning to 30-pin adapter that converts the new models for the older docks. The progressive thinkers at iLive came up with a new angle that uses the Bluetooth feature of the iPhone 5 and the broadening popularity of Bluetooth found in alternate smartphones and tablets. The result: iLive Blue Bluetooth Receiver.

 

The iLive Blue Bluetooth Receiver is an adapter that you attach to the 30-pin connector dock to stream music to the speaker from any Bluetooth device. The iLive IAB53B Bluetooth Receiver pairs with any Bluetooth device and opens broader opportunities to stream music to the speaker or sound system that has a traditional dock. That means, if you have an iPhone 5 or new iPod models, you can continue to enjoy the sound from your speakers or docked sound systems.

There is one shortcoming. You won’t be able to charge your iPhone 5 through the dock. The iLive advantage outweighs that. With iLive’s Bluetooth Receiver, virtually any Bluetooth device from any brand, including Samsung, HTC, Motorola, LG, and more can now pair and stream music to your dock speaker or radio.

The world is made more wondrous as different ideas burst all around us. Perhaps some conflict with others but many ideas excite cooperation and thought. There are two totally different perspectives of adapting an iPhone 5 or iPod touch to older docks. A problem has been solved and, at this time, you can choose among two different ways. Select the Apple adapter or the iLive Bluetooth Receiver. Maybe you want both. Impossibilities prove possible every day.
