Reviews for Lightning to USB Cable (1 m)

I have tested this cable extensively, and find it to be a significant improvement from the previous cable; which was also of excellent 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.

This cable is cheap. I had my IPhone 5 for 6 months and the cord stopped working. Best part? Apple doesn't replace these cables under warranty because it is considered damage to the device. How? I use my cable the same way I used my 30-pin and I never had any issue.They really need to fix this issue I can't spend 20 every 6 months

I got my iPod 5 just after new years and guess what i did today 5 months later? bought my 3RD CORD!!!!!!!!!! it keeps breaking and I'm so FURIOUS at this point i don't know what to do. absolutely TERRIBLE product.

The new charger cord breaks too easily I am going on my 5 one since December. The old one lasted me about 3 years it is really frustrating having to always buy a new cord.

I've literally been through a half dozen of these since getting an iPod touch 5 and the newest iPod nano this past fall.

The lightening connector keeps getting...sort of corroded, I guess. Apparently there's a reason USB doesn't expose the physical connection on the outside. My USB cables by contrast, under the exact same conditions last YEARS. I've never actually had one go bad, yet these...these last weeks or months for me so far. I'll get occasional connect/disconnects at first, maybe it'll only work plugged in one direction. Then slowly (or quickly) it'll just stop working entirely.

If any other mobile OS handled podcasts decently I'd have to switch just because of these horrible cables. They need to use micro USB like everyone else, or heck, go back to the 30-pin connector which at least was a lot more reliable than this...

Hey Apple, I left android phones because I was tired of stuff that did not work. Started with the iphone4 and I still have the original charger that is almost 3 years old. I have replaced 3 of these lightning cables since December because the solder breaks off inside the connector from very little stress. There needs to be a real solution brought to the table for this. We don't expect this kind of garbage from an apple product.

I got this charger in December of 2012 and by April 2013 IT IS ALREADY BROKEN. I have to go buy another one already, someting I really don't want to do.

Okay. I don't know what it is with you people complaining about Apple Cords. Apple offers a 12 month warranty on your phone, cord, and any other accessories they sell. So WHY are you people "buying" so many new cords? If the cable shreds, call 1800applecare and theyll replace your cable no charge for 12 months.
You people make NO SENSE whatsoever. I use my cable 10+ hours a day and beat the heck out of it. Finally after (what is it now, 8 months? of ownership) my cord stopped working. Went to Apple Store and walked out 5 minutes later with a new cord. You pay a premium for apple products for their great warranty!

Not even a month out of their boxes both lighting cables for my ipad4 and mini fails. Alot of complaints About the wire kinking up easily. Listen to your loyal customers apple, Something's wrong here!

Apple is one of the most innovative/creative companies in the world BUT has the WORST charging cable for the iphone5. I have already gone through about 4 cables. This is ridiculous!!! Apple really needs to do something to improve this. As well as make it cheaper when they do for all of the people that have already bought multiple lightning cables.
