Reviews for Lightning to USB Cable (1m)

I have had 4 of these in the past month and have had the same problem with each. They work fine until i suspect a wire comes loose in the top of the cable (where it enters the device), then it will only work when it is pulled or pushed into certain directions, until eventually it will not work at all. Im sick of wasting money on these cablels. A new cable must be brought out.

I'm going to say the same thing as everyone else - was great at first then started messing around unless it was at a certain angle, then just stopped.

I will try to call apple to see what they say, but I'm going to Apple to buy a new one first just in case - then at least I'll have a spare because that's likely to stop working as well.

In fairness to Apple, the problem is probably because it does charge very fast. Could be too much for the wires inside and this would make them overheat/melt. But I would rather it didn't charge at lightening speed but LASTED.

Thanks for reading.

I had a blackberry for 2 years and the charger never once broke, then I buy into an expensive phone and I've gone through four chargers within 5 months. It's a joke.

I am on contract with Orange for the iPhone 5 i got the phone in October 2012. Everything worked fine, i was made up with the phone. Then i noticed the wire started to bend and crack around the Lightening connector a week later the cable became faulty and i had to wiggle it to get it to work. I came to work and plugged it in went to put my phone on charge and a sparks were coming out of the part where the wire meets the connector and gave me quite a harsh electric shock! Called orange today who put me through to apple tech support and they have kindly replaced it. So maybe you should give them a call instead of wasting your money on a product that is clearly poorly manufactured! A lot of people are let down by this, it's quite disheartening coming from a company who prides itself as an idustry leader! Pfffttt.

This item is the worst product ever! I'm sure i was not aware that I would have to go through 4 wires and now the charger has overheated and the top end of the plastic has melted and burnt onto my duvet, what if it was to damage the charging area of the iPhone 5? Not My Fault! I am not happy with the lightning cable, a new improved version must be brought out. And i am sure i speak for the majority of iPhone 5 users! Rubbish charger!

this has got to be the WORST purchase i have ever bought in my fifteen years of living on this planet. i have bought 5 Lightning to USB Cable's in the space of 3 months. in other words, piece of rubbish. you would think that because apple is such a good company they would actually make something that would CHARGE your ipod/iphone/ipad instead of it breaking instantly, my recent Lightning to USB Cable lasted four hours, your products are not reliable in any way at all. you should definitely make some new sort of USB. i will stick to banana's from now on. i am now going to buy a docking station (THAT IS NOT APPLE) to charge my ipod because apple is this unreliable, if you don't put my review up you obviously just can't face the truth, goodbye. oh and i had to rate this a 1 star or it would not let me do it, so don't think for one minute i wanted to make it one star. YOU MADE ME DO THIS.

Iphone 5 lightning USB chargers are the worst things ever .. break within two months of each other .. considering the amount of money we spend on our iphones, ipods and ipads and what not - perhaps they should provide us with better quality chargers!!! £15 each time and i find myself purchasing one about every 8 weeks !!!!

the i phone 5 cables are terrible and are NOT robust. What is Apple going to do about it?

Had my cable since release of the iPhone 5 and it has already broken, need to wobble it around to get any sort of connection. Marketing will only mask low quality on these for so long.

I got this with my Ipod Touch (5th gen). It work fine until today because when I went to charge my ipod this just broke now got to buy a new one. Not happy with it. As owning a second gen Ipod as well my old charger lasted for 3-4 years. Needs work NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
