    Houston We Have a Problem

    • Written by from Gilbert

    I'm not sure what else I can add to the prior poor reviews. In basic and simple termis, this cord is horribly manufactured. The durability of it is non-existent. Be prepared and have extra on-hand. Remember, when the day and time come when you really need a charge, you will find this cord is broken.

    HORRIBLE

    • Written by from Botwood

    I just picked up my 3rd, thats right 3rd cord since i got my phone in december. My original gave out in the end of april, I bought a new one in the beginning of may, that one would not work at all, so I bought a new one three days later now that one just gave one and I just bought a new one again. Thanks Apple for making completely DISPOSABLE cords. I need a second job just to keep up with the cost of the chargers and how often I must replace them.

    Easily Damaged

    • Written by from san jose

    I was really excited about the new thunderbolt ports for the iphone 5, but at the same time was sad about switching over to a new system. I have had my phone since october/november 2012 today 5-17-2013 my chord is broke (it still works but I must angle it in a certain angle). I wish for apple to make it stronger somehow I really like the design but it is way to easily damageable and will break. Apple's usb chords for the ipod touch, iphone 4 etc....those were pretty darn amazing really tough. I just wish that apple could make it to be stronger, because replacing these things take our our time and money, they are roughly 20 USD so it can get pricy. Just hoping for a better (Stronger).

    Cords are shorting out

    • Written by from Baltimore

    I'm now on my third cord since I purchased my iphone 5 one week before Christmas. I think Apple should offer free replacement cords till this flaw is fixed.

    Worst Apple product ever made

    • Written by from Louisville

    too fragile, shorter lifespan than a fruit fly.
    I only rated it a one, because I had no option for zero...

    We have had every model iphone apple has ever made, and 2 of some of them, and we have two ipads. I doubt I will ever buy another apple product that uses these lightning cords.
    it is a constant battle to have working cords when one suddenly quits working.....Fed up.
    The iphone is awesome, but too much trouble, and expense to own one with the junk lightning cord.
    I own apple products for their quality, and this is ruining the experience. I have went through 6 cords in a year....

    I've gone through 4

    • Written by from WENATCHEE

    I've gone through four of them. The tips of the lightening cords, where you insert the cord to hook it the phone, are constantly burning out.

    They work great for a few weeks and then die.

    Easily Damaged

    • Written by from Slate hill

    I only keep the charger at home and plug my phone in at the end of the day. I have gone through two already, currently awaiting my third in the mail due to issues since I purchased the phone in November. Cord easily kinks up and stops working.

    These new lighting cords are awful.

    • Written by from Chicago

    I have been a apple customer since 2005. I had an iPod, then I got the iPhone when they came out. I never had any problems with the old cords like I do with this new one. I already had 3 of them since I got my iPhone 5 in January (five months ago). There seems to be some type of shortage. My friends have had problems with theirs also. It's best just to get the old one and a converter adaptor.

    Change your cables!

    • Written by from Pittsburgh

    I bought a new iPhone 5 in October 2012. Since then (7 months) I am about to get my 3rd charging cord. They keep breaking at the hub. I have NEVER replace a charging cord with any other phone I've owned. This is ridiculous--3 charging cords within 7 months. C'mon APPLE!

    Total Pain

    • Written by from richmond

    Sure it's nice that I can flip the charger anyway and it will still plug in, but I have gone through FOUR of these since purchasing my iPhone 5 in December. It is currently May. These cords do not last long at all. Apple should honestly be ashamed of this charger because of how poor it is. I still have the older lightning cable that is compatible for iPhones 4 and below that works fine, and it is over two years old. I don't know what the major difference is that would cause these chargers to be so useless, but it NEEDS to be fixed.

    Lighting to USB Cable are horribly made.

    • Written by from Stouffville

    Going to have to get a 3rd lighting cable now. Same issue with the first 2, where eventually I will have to move/wiggle around the cable very carefully until I find that magical spot for it to actually want to charge, and then I have to make sure a piece of dust won't fall near it or else it stops.
    Hope they have been doing replacements on the Lightning Cables. As I can't afford to keep replacing these.

    Breaks easily

    • Written by from Green Cove Springs

    for some reason the cables for older iPhones have lasted way long than this one. it breaks after the little part that covers the first bit of the cable on the lightning side, it needs to have a bit larger part that covers the rest of the wire. The casing comes unattached leaving the wire free to bend and become frayed right away.

    It probably because the cord is short and the lightning end is where it's most likely to be bent, but Apple needs to take that into affect and maybe even making the plastic casing longer so that your entire index finger can grab it

    Disappointing

    • Written by from La Vernia

    Apple, you pride yourself on the technological advancement of your products. Pride yourself on listening to your consumers. This cable is pathetic. It breaks too easily and the replacement cost is too high for its poor quality. Embarrassment should be your stand on this one as it was with your map skills.

    Too short

    • Written by from West Kelowna

    Haven't had a lick of problems with the cable but seriously why must it be so short, anything less than 6 feet is a pain the but, I use a USB extension with mine, definetly way higher quality then the know off cables. My cable is now 9 months old, no problems

    Not up to Apple Specs

    • Written by from San Francisco

    I have had 3 cables since the Iphone 5 came out and all have broke. The cable is really mediocre and apple should be embarrassed to have put out such a shoddy product. Having to twist and turn a cable and rest it under a shoe to get it to charge is unacceptable for a $ 20 cable that only lasts a couple of months. I wish Apple would do the right thing and offer me some free cables to make up for the poor quality ones they have forced to buy on multiple occasions.

    SHAME ON YOU APPLE

    These are LOUSY

    • Written by from HONOLULU

    Quality is lousy. Too fragile. Must buy 3rd one now. We deserve a fully functioning complete product for the premium we pay to be loyal repeat customers. Galaxy products look better to me every day. Apple is quickly losing its way and mojo. I'm forced to give it at least one star, so I guess that one is for the fact that this connector is reversible. The only plus.
