    iPhone Dock with 3.5mm output?

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a dock that works with the iPhone XS and features a 3.5mm headphone out? Apple sells one but the reviews look mixed (and judging from the design, it's easy to see why). Here's the Apple dock for reference.

It reset the Dock and its contents but fixed the problem. ### On the Mac App Store I bought 'uDesktop NEXT' which...
