Q: Anyone experiencing issues with the lightning port on their iPhones (6 or 6 Plus) after using the new iPhone Lightning Dock?

Bought the new iPhone Lightning Dock the first day it was out. Since using it on my iPhone 6, I'm noticing that it now no longer charges or connects to my iMac when it's placed on the dock. The Lighting port connection at the base of my iPhone also appears loose as it stops charging to syncing randomly and won't display an image when I connect to a Lightning to HDMI or Lightning to VGA adapter. The cables and adapters all work fine when connected to my iPad Air 2.

 

Anyone else experiencing these or similar issues? iPhone was behaving flawlessly until I used the new dock.

iPhone 6, iOS 8.3, new Phone dock

    The dock does not offer enough back support and most likely ruined your port.  I would go with something fully adjustable like the Rokform dock. It is machined in the USA out of aluminum and weighs 3 pounds so it doesnt lift up when disengaging. It still has a small footprint though so it is easy to find space on your desk for it. Also it comes with a high quality aluminum port so it will not ruin your phone.
