Best List: iPhone 6 dock by Kanex
Every now and then, I need to FaceTime with someone. Holding my iPhone still is kind of a challenge when I’m chatting, plus I can’t gesticulate wildly when I’m keeping the iPhone upright with my hands. The folks at Kanex have me covered thanks to this slickly designed aluminum dock for iPhone 6 or 6 Plus (and I’m pretty sure it will work with the newer “s” models, as well).
I place the dock, with its slip-resistant rubber base, next to my MacBook when I’m working at a desk or table. It’s a great way to see the screen when I get an iMessage or email. The Kanex dock also charges your iPhone so you don’t need to worry about running out of juice if you leave it sitting there all day. The built-in Lightning cable is nice and long, too, letting you reach any USB port nearby for full charging and syncing capability.
After a couple weeks with this dock, I don’t ever want to just set my iPhone down again.
Price: $39.95
