KDC1000, KDC1100, and KDC1200 SmartSled scanners, KPCC and KBCC Protective Charging Cases, and modular Charging Cradles now support Apple iPhone 17 and iPhone 17e, providing businesses with a simple upgrade path while protecting their existing investment in KOAMTAC hardware.
PRINCETON, N.J., Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- KOAMTAC® Inc., the leader in ConvergedScan™ data collection solutions is pleased to announce Apple iPhone 17 and iPhone 17e compatibility for its KDC1000, KDC1100, and KDC1200 SmartSled scanners, KPCC and KBCC Protective Charging Cases, and modular Charging Cradles. Existing KOAMTAC customers can upgrade to the latest iPhone models by replacing only the phone-specific components, while new customers can build a SmartSled solution around Apple's latest devices.
The KDC1000, KDC1100, and KDC1200 allow businesses to use the Apple iPhone 17 and iPhone 17e as high-performance barcode scanners or RFID readers without replacing the smartphones employees already use every day. Rather than carrying a dedicated mobile computer, users combine the computing power, camera, wireless connectivity, and business applications of the iPhone with the speed, accuracy, and ergonomics of a purpose-built data collection device. Dedicated scan buttons, high-performance scan engines, and optional RFID capabilities provide faster, more reliable data capture than camera-based scanning, increasing productivity within the user-friendly iOS interface.
Unlike Bluetooth-only scanning solutions, KDC1000 Series SmartSled scanners provide a wired, MFi-certified connection to the iPhone. Available for iPhone 17 and iPhone 17e in three models, the KDC 1000 Series SmartSled line covers a range of capture needs: the KDC1000 features a forward-facing scan engine for general barcode scanning; the KDC1100 uses a 35-degree downward-angled scan engine suited to shelves, carts, bins, and work surfaces; and the KDC1200 adds an integrated 0.5W UHF RFID reader alongside barcode scanning for applications requiring both data types.
Each model can be configured with scan engines ranging from Standard to Long Range, plus modular accessories, including UHF readers, extended batteries, pistol grips, and payment modules, so a single SmartSled can be adapted to a wide range of applications instead of requiring multiple specialized devices.
For users who prefer not to use a dedicated phone case with integrated scanner, the Magnetic Universal Adaptor (MUA) provides additional flexibility. The MUA allows compatible iPhone 17 and iPhone 17e devices to attach magnetically to the KDC1000, KDC1100, and KDC1200 SmartSled scanners in seconds, making it well suited for shared devices, temporary deployments, or users who only need scanning during part of the day. The adaptor supports Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connectivity only.
To complement the SmartSled product line, KOAMTAC offers KPCC and KBCC Protective Charging Cases for the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17e. Both cases allow the iPhone to charge through KOAMTAC Charging Cradles, making them well suited for multi-device deployments and shared charging environments. The KBCC model further extends operating time with an integrated 5,000mAh rechargeable battery.
KOAMTAC modular Charging Cradles are available in single-slot and multi-slot configurations and simultaneously charge both the smartphone and attached KOAMTAC accessories, depending on the cradle model. Each cradle uses replaceable spacers, allowing customers upgrading to a different supported phone mode, such as an non-Apple phone, to replace only the spacer instead of the entire cradle. This modular approach extends the life of existing charging infrastructure while reducing replacement costs.
"Our SmartSled ecosystem is designed to evolve alongside the smartphones our customers rely on," said Dr. Hanjin Lee, President of KOAMTAC. "Many of our customers replace their smartphones every few years, but their scanners, charging cradles, and accessories remain in service much longer. By adding support for the Apple iPhone 17 and iPhone 17e, we're making it easy for customers to upgrade to the latest devices while continuing to use the KOAMTAC hardware they already own."
Support for additional iPhone 17 models, including iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, is available by request. Customers interested in these models should contact KOAMTAC for availability.
Solutions supporting the Apple iPhone 17 and iPhone 17e are available through authorized KOAMTAC distributors and the KOAMTAC web store. Customers interested in learning more may contact KOAMTAC at [email protected] or call +1.609.256.4700.
