    i have brought about 6 of these cables now and every single one of them has snapped off, this new cable design is a complete con and you should change them all back to the old cable

    Solution ?

    • Written by from NORWICH

    I think that Apple could solve this cable problem by making the plug that goes into the unit about three times the length. As it is so small it is easy to damage the cable by bending/pulling. If cable wires then short-out they can damage the power supply !!

    I have just gone through my THIRD cable. This is just completely inconceivable and is costing me a fortune! You would have thought Apple would have spent more time and effort in making a virtually unbreakable charger, especially after forking out so much money for the iPhone 5 in the first place! Very upset that they released such a flimsy product.

    My charger has broken after just having it for a couple of months, I have to plug it in several times before it chargers and then sometimes it won't charge at all, I don't want to spend a load of money for another charger that will break again in a couple of weeks.

    Got the iphone 5 in september, had 2 cables from apple and both broke within weeks of using. I then bought an adapter so i could use my iphone 4 cable and now the adapter has stopped working. I have 4% battery and do not know what to do or buy next. Sort it apple.

    Had a laugh at the reviews saying their kids' cables broke (kids ALWAYS look after their things don't they!?) and even the review slamming Apple for wanting the broken cable before providing a FREE replacement.

    You can't please everyone.

    I bought my iPhone 5 on release day (Oct 2012?) and used the cable almost daily since, including travel abroad twice and trips in UK. Cable never missed a beat, even after the cat had a go at eating it.

    Perfect!

    What is everyone complaining about?

    I really don't know what on earth all the fuss is about. I've had the 0.5m cable since October 12 and it still works fine. maybe not the most elegant cable but provided you don't cut it wash it or pull on it or anything else stupid, it should be fine. take care of it and it will work.

    Was this useful? What is everyone complaining about?

    This product is so poorly manufactured, not to mention the price of it. I've now gone through 2 cables and I can't be bothered to get another one because it's rubbish.

    What's all the fuss?

    I've had my Lightning connector for around 4 months now, and I haven't had any serious problems with it, so I'm very surprised to see a 1 star on this product. The only thing I dislike about it is the length. If you charge it through your Mac, then I think the length is fine. But if you charge from a 3-point plug (UK) then I think 1m is essential. Having had a mostly positive experience, I'm confused by a lot of the reviewers' comments.

    Faulty!

    I have had my iPhone five for just over 6 weeks now. I cannot fault the phone; it's great. However, the cable is terrible it has worn out completely. I opened it up to try ad fix it and found that the small red wire inside had worn in half. I don't expect this from a product that cost £500+ and would like a new cable sent to me because I now have a phone on 4% battery and no means of charging it!

    4 broke since christmas

    Well, we both got iphone 5's for christmas, and we'd priviosly had iphone 4's for 2 years. I still to this very day, have my 30 pin iphone. 4, origional cable fully working from over 2 years ago. So why do the lightningg conncter break so easily? They loose connection for abit and then just die, and now you expect yet another £15 out of my purse? When working the cable is very fast to charge and i like the both way charging, but seriosly, letting the phone down, bad reviews to all my friends and family! I advise to get the adapter from. 30 pin to 8 pin using the old cable, apple stil steals a further £25 from us, but at least they won't break! Fix it apple!

    Flimsy

    Like everyone else, I have drawers full of 32-pin chargers. The lightning charger, however, doesn't last. The lightning end has become limp and flaccid (within months) and charging my iPhone is a frustrating challenge. The iPhone 5 is great - but it needs power to work. Sort it out, Apple!

    doesn't charge anymore..

    i've had my ipad mini for up to 3 months now and the cable cord doesn't work anymore, i'm not paying £15 if it's going to break again. I see people have the same problem as me, that i have to move the cord to a certain spot so that my ipad will charge. Apple needs to sort out this problem and they should replace the broken ones to brand new ones to the costumers.
