Oh believe me Sieghard, a wireless charging unit is definitely on my
list. However, it's a very new market and I want to see how the
proverbial dust settles before investing in yet more hardware equipment.
Baby-steps, my friend, baby-steps. (smile)

Subject: RE: A Question About Using the Belkin Rock Star Lightening Splitter
I'm surprised Mark bought the splitter, the iPhone 8/8 Plus have
wireless charging and if I bought one I'd rather invest in 2 or 3
charging pads.
I would put one of these on my night table next to my bed where the
iPhone is at night, one on my desk at work where I am sitting most
of the day and maybe one in the living room or kitchen. This way if
I put the phone on the charging pad in the evening I can use the
Lightning headset while the phone is charging. I will have a fully
charged phone in the morning, while I'm at work I can put it on the
pad on my desk later in the day (chances are I'll still have between
50 and 80% at that point) and again my phone will be fully charged
when I go home.
If I need to charge it fast or if I want to use an external battery
while I'm out and about I can still plug it in and just use a
bluetooth headset for these occasions. I just think that being able
to charge your phone while it's just sitting on the desk or the
night table without having to plug it in would result in me having a
fully or almost fully charged phone most of the time and personally
I certainly doubt I would miss being able to plug it in and use a
wired headset at the same time. For this same reason I would never
have bought the iPhone 7 or 7 Plus since with it you don't have a choice.
OK, now that is my story and I'm sticking to it no matter what Mark
has to say *smile*
Regards,
Sieghard

Mark,
Glad you got a replacement that works. It's a good product but I
still miss the headphone jack.

Hello Alan, et al:
Well, as it turns out, I had a bad adapter.
I simply took the unit into the Apple Store, along with my receipt
of course, and they swapped it out.
Before I left the shopping center, I tested it and it works beautifully.
Thank you all for your feedback on this.
Mark

Mark,
I have a friend who had an issue with her Belkin Rockstar adapter
making her think it was defective. It turns out that she wasn't
pressing it firmly enough into the port for it to completely engage.
I didn't have this issue with my Rockstar adapter but I thought I'd
mention it to give you something else to Tri.
Good luck.
