IPod Hi-Fi

The iPod Hi-Fi is a high-end speaker system for iPods designed by Apple Computer and introduced in a special event on February 28, 2006.

Description
The speaker's sound is generated by two 80mm custom-designed drivers and one 130mm woofer. The iPod Hi-Fi uses the 30-pin dock connector, optical connector, or headphone jack for audio input. Ten universal dock adapters are included for various iPod models that were available at the time.

Market reception
The iPod Hi-Fi was criticized for its high 349 price and was discontinued on September 5, 2007.

Usage with modern devices
Newer Apple devices may be connected (and charged) through a Lightning to 30-pin Adapter, though an extension cable may be necessary as the newer devices would not fit or be able to stand within the old 30-pin dock.

Devices with only a USB-C port can be daisy chained through a USB-C to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter from Apple, or a third-party USB-C to Lightning audio adapter (to a 30-pin adapter). Devices that support Bluetooth can be paired through a third-party 30-pin Bluetooth audio receiver. However, these options only support audio functions and not charging.
