Following our roundup of the 10 best iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus cases, we set our sights on the 5 best docks now available for pre-order.
Apple's eagerly anticipated iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus models have only just dropped but that hasn't stopped a ton of unofficial accessories hitting the market. We previously brought you 10 of the best iPhone 6 and 6 Plus cases around, and now we're on to docks. While no one's denying that Apple's latest gadgets are huge leaps forward in smartphone technology, the fact remains that tangled charger and audio cables can create a less than ideal desktop situation. Docking stations are a neat way of keeping your desktop or table tidy, and with many docks also sporting audio outputs, your stereo system can easily play music straight from your phone too.
Unlike cases, docks are pretty complicated technically, so rather than round up a bunch of inferior products that have been rushed to the market, we've instead taken the time to select five of the best docks, all of which are now available for pre-order. So while you may have to wait a while to get your hands on them, you can rest assured you will be delivered a superior product that will keep your iPhone 6 and/or 6 Plus fully charged and stylish for years to come.
