Q: QuestionWill this work on an iPhone 8 Plus?

Asked 7 years ago by Emerald.

• A:Answer I haven't checked it out on an iPhone 8 Plus, but it works well on my brand-new iPhone 8. I plugged the dongle into my iPhone 8, plugged in the earphone dongle into one of the two lightning slots, and plugged in a USB/lightning cable between the USB slot in my truck and the lightning end into the remaining slot of the iPhone "double dongle." I then called up iTunes on my iPhone 8 and watched my phone charge while I listened to tunes through my earphones. Hope this helps . . .

Q: QuestionWill it work on iPhone 12 Pro Max?

Asked 4 years ago by JuanManuel777.

• A:Answer Hi, LOVEWarrior777. The Belkin Lightning Audio + Charge RockStar™ should work since it is MFi-certified Lightning to USB cables and MFI-certified Lightning Audio headphones. However, just note that it only has 12W pass-through charging which powers up the iPhone/iPad at maximum speed.
