Reviews for Lightning to USB Cable (1 m)

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.

The charger with the rest of the iPod/iPhone family seemed to be sturdier than this lightning cord. I am simply applauded at the shortness or lack of lifetime this cord has. since its so small the cord can't help but to bend causing the iPod and iPhone to stop charging. Develop a thicker and more sturdy end and it will solve the issue. Thanks.

This is a terrible cable. The quality is horrible and the ends break after a few weeks of using. Go to radio shack and look at their braided lightning cables. They cost the same and are made of a braided fabric that will not kink and tear like these ones.

From a devoted Apple/Mac girl who has had iphones for 5 years and NEVER needed new cables due to breakage- this is disheartening!
I am extremely gentle and careful with all of my Apple products- iPad, iPhone, Airbook, Mac- this is the first one I have had to consistently replace- third cord since the first one and still breaking.
Not cool Apple- make it work people! Fix it please~

Apple really needs to concentrate on increasing the quality of their charging accessories. I've had to replace my charging cable for my macbook air twice now, and now I've had the iPhone 5 for 3 months, and the cable is destroyed, won't charge. I'm extremely disappointed. Very expensive and very cheaply built.

3 months and it is already damaged and broken, now I have to go for a new one.

Worst cable.... shameful we need to stick with it

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.

They are too short and mine stopped working after 3 months...
