TOO SHORT
I would like to see Apple offer multiple length options with this cable. I need a longer one: 5-6 ft for charging and a shorter on e 6"-1 ft for connecting to my MacBook for syncing and updating. Don't know why this hasn't been done much sooner! …

Verified to be 3.5 foot long cable - works with existing wall and car plugs
I just received my shipment of 3 of these cables directly from China. I measured my cables to be exactly 42 inches long. So they are about 3.5 feet long. About the same as previous Apple charging cables. Really, Apple should make them all 6ft long, which is why I am giving this 4 stars.
Since 3.5 feet is not usually long enough for most uses, search amazon for "white USB extension" from C2G in 3ft, 6ft or 9ft extension cables for about $2 to $5 dollars, which can then be put in between the wall power brick (or car port adapter) and this cable.
Existing power transformers with a USB jack on them (for home or car power port) that worked with your iPhone 3gs, 4 or 4s, should work fine with this new cable and the iPhone 5. 1 amp (1a = 5 watts) is standard for iPhones. 2 amp (2a = 10 watts) is standard for iPads. But it's well known, that if you buy 2 amp (10w) power plug then your iPhone 5 will charge in about 60% of the time. I like the PowerGen brand 10w chargers from amazon for $10. …- Written by John G from APPLE VALLEY

SOOO Much Smaller & Better!!!
Yes, they changed the connector. Yes it's kind of a hassle. But that's progress for you & I prefer this cable. No more fumbling in the dark - it just slides right in the right way every time. Apple does need to get a few more in the stores though. But love the new cable and love the new design. …

Quality cable
I have tested this cable extensively, and find it to be a significant improvement from the previous cable; which was also of excel lent quality. Specifically, there are no issues with frayed wire or damaged insulation even under strenuous conditions, and no issues of reliability with either the lightning connector or the USB connector. I outright challenge the comments on here to be fictitious and outright defamation. In addition, apple does replace faulty cables under warranty, so there is at a minimum, clearly abundant ignorance of Apple's policies. …

Bad cable broke after a few months
I bought this cable 2 of them in the last 4 months. The same problem. The cable fell apart inside between the connector from the 8 pin and the cable did not well protect from pulling and bending. My cable stop charging and now has to buy a new one. The inside ripped that can not be fixed. I have to buy a new one and cover the connection between the cable and the 8 pin head by myself to extended the protection while the cable is bending and pulling. This is to protect from inside cable pull apart from the 8 pin head. Very disappointed. Never happen with the old iphone model. I have all iphone model. This is getting very bad. Plus iphone 5 is not really impressive. Bad wifi connection!!!! …

Disappointingly it is only USB 2.0. Says so right there in the details. I was hoping for a lightning to thunderbolt cable or at least USB 3.0. What's the point of a new dock if you can't at least get much faster transfer speeds? …

Is a 3 metre cable available
- Asked by Susan S
- 30-Dec-2012
Answer
No, but you can:
1. Get the 1m cable from apple and skip to the '4. '
or:
2. keep your cable an d skip to the '4. '
3. Do both and go to the next number (4. )
4. go to eBay or amazon, and search for a 'USB Male to Female 3m cable' (you can change the '3' to whatever you like) and find one there (preferably the cheapest one). once you have got it, (excitingly) unwrap it from the packaging, and run to the plug where your charger is, plug the end of the extension cable into the charger (carefully, and make sure you plug it in the correct way up to avoid embarrassment) and plug the apple USB wire/cable of your choice into the female (port) end of the wire. Enjoy your super long cable!
