No headphone jack? No problem: How to listen to music while you sync and charge your new iPhone 7/Plus

Available in five metallic finishes, Apple’s new US$49 iPhone Lightning Dock perfectly matches your iPhone. Choose from black, space gray, silver, gold, and rose gold.

You can use it to charge and sync any iPhone that has a Lightning connector, but it’s especially useful for Apple’s new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus which eschew the antiquated 3.5mm headphone jack.

Your iPhone sits upright in the dock as it syncs or charges, so it’s ideal for a desk or countertop. Even when your iPhone is in an Apple-designed case, it’s easy to dock. And you can unlock iPhone or use Touch ID without having to remove it from the dock.
