1. Belkin Charge and Sync Dock: At $30, this charger is more of a mid-range product, but is simplistic and reliable nonetheless. This charger has been certified to meet Apple standards in terms of its performance and is hardwired with a USB cable that’s compatible with any lightning style version of the iPhone.
2. Native Union Dock: Compatible with not just the iPhone, but various Apple products, this is one of the most versatile charging docs there are. It will set you back around $50, but it’s made from premium silicon and precision cut aluminum, and can be set up in less than 20 seconds, so at least you’re getting bang for your buck.
3. Elevation Dock 3: A slightly pricier model, at around $90, this dock will fit any Lightning-equipped iPhone and is fitted with silicon bumpers in its cradle giving your phone extra security. It’s also made from solid aluminum and is produced in the USA. It also comes equipped with an MFI lightning cable for an added bonus.
4. Apple Charger & Cradle: Another mid-range model, priced at approximately $49, the Apple Charger is a reliable device without all the bells and whistles. It’s a quality product that is compatible with various devices but there are no cables included, so you will need to use the ones that came with your phone.
5. Aerb Bamboo Charging Stand: This is the cheapest dock on our list, but don’t let that put you off. This device will charge both your iPhone and Apple Watch as long as you supply the cables. It’s a cheap but helpful option nonetheless.
6. Mophie Desktop Dock: This mid-range changer is made by one of the top manufacturers of iPhone products so not only does it look good, but it functions well too. It’s compatible with iPhone 5 onwards and has a lightning connector for easy connection to any case.
7. Carved Recycled Skate Dock: This funky dock is made from old skateboards, giving it an entirely unique look. It is one of the most expensive docks on the list at $94 but is well worth it of you’re looking for something a little out of the ordinary. As well as looking good, it is compatible with all Apple phones from 3 onwards as well as a few Androids.
8. Twelve South HiRise: This is a class dock that will cost you around $50, so is a mid-range product. However, it’s still MFI certified lightning and mini USB cable integrated, adjustable height and depth controls, and comes in 6 different colors. So, we think $50 is not a bad price to pay indeed.
9. Satechi Aluminium Desktop Stand: At $25 this product is a bargain. With a minimalist look and a smart design that hides your charging cables, it’s an impressive dock for a great price. However, you will need to supply your own cable as the Satechi doesn’t come with one included.
