About the iHome iDL46
It's easy to keep track of your portable devices if there's a place for them. And that's just what the iHome iDL46 provides. This compact clock radio lets you dock your iPhone 6®, iPhone 6 Plus®, iPad 4®, iPad mini® or 5th generation iPod touch to its Lightning connector. And if you have an older Apple portable with a 30-pin connector, you can use your device's charging cable to connect to the iDL46's USB port. Either way, you'll be able to play music from your connected Apple portable as it charges.
The system features a built-in FM tuner and auxiliary minijack input where you can plug in your other portable audio devices. The iDL46 lets you choose what you want to listen to, and what you want to wake up to. It can be a favorite radio station, or a music source from one of your connected Apple portables — from music files, to apps, to Internet radio stations.

I love this product! The sound is very clear especially for the small size of he unit. It is very convenient to be able to set my iphone or ipad right on the lightning connector to charge or view videos without a kickstand. Very happy!
