It's like being able to charge your phone magnetically. There's a very small part of the cable that plugs into the phone and it barely sticks out of the phone. The other part of the cable plugs into your power source, and the other end of the cable plugs onto the other part you plugged into the phone. This saves the wear on the phone jack. For more information and to purchase these cables a good source is Accessible Electronics.

The Iphone takes a lightning cable so no, it absolutely won't work. And it wouldn't be a good idea because that cable already fits tightly. Where some peple like them is with the micro USB ports that sometimes are pretty fragile.
