Reviews for Lightning to USB Cable (1 m)

I have one big problem with apple charger cables whether for iPhones or iPads: they are too short. I have to be as close to the power source as possible and that is not conducive at all. Make them longer and don't tell me about buying another cord coz we deserve the best from Apple!

I have had the iPhone 5 since it first came out, and I have been using the same cord since I got the phone and I haven't needed any replacements, but it appears that the lightning end of the cable is frayed on the inside of the sheath. But over all I like the cable.

I'll give it a three to be nice. I would actually rate it a two. I went to my friends house on March 10, (yesterday) and when I got home I found out that it broke. I got this charger in early November with my iPhone 5. It only lasts 5 months (about) so I suggest don't re-buy it. I'm planning to exchange it with my dad at Best Buy or a local Apple Store soon but it still charges. You just need to put the cord in really weird positions. So far theirs no possible way to fix this, but to prevent it, don't bend the charger where the small dock is. And pull out the charger buy the plastic outline. Or the docks. Not the cable itself.

My cable isn't working I have used it ever since I got my iPod and I have always treated it very well but out of no where now it just doesn't charge unless its in the right spot... But I really like this charger how it's small and very fast

I've been an Apple consumer of almost every single product they offer. They have all been consistent in quality and value... until the new lightening cord. My charger cord is a few months old and already won't charge the phone. I have done nothing except plug it in and out of the phone properly (no water, no drop, scratch, etc) In researching this issue it seems to be a common problem, clearly something Apple needs to recognize and compensate for. I have a genius bar appointment tomorrow, if they don't give me a new one I am going to be really upset. Please don't make me regret my iPhone 5 purchase!!!

I am not sure why everyone is complaining? I mean i get that your charger is maybe wrinkled or you are on your fifth one, but Apple is really good at replacing your stuff. I mean, I just don't get why people are buy 5 and 6 chargers. Take it to the Apple store and they will gladly help you. I have never had a problem.

I will say that they are expensive. Heck, even the knockoffs are expensive.

I have always been an Apple fan. They make great products and when you need a replacement device they are quick to help. However, this is the first complaint I have had about an Apple product. I do not love this charger. It feels cheaply made. I had to replace my charger because it will only charge my phone if I set it down a certain way and the cord gets hot. The wireing inside is poor at best. I went to pick up my phone and the charger had gotten so hot when it touched my skin it had turned it pink instantly. I was scared to charge my phone for fear it may start an electrical fire. I never had this problem with the old chargers. I wasn't a fan of how wide they were originally, however, I can get over it, simply for a better and more well designed charger.

For those complaining about the cable being too short, they make USB extensions. They are great and don't cost much. It's a simple fix. If you haven't thought about, there you go! You can all stop your whining.

and the cable is too short. Buying an extender cable is a weak answer. Making a cable 12-18 inches longer is a start.

Had it for two weeks then it stopped working and gave me error messages on my Mac and in my car saying it was using too much power. But otherwise it works well and is much better than the 30 pin.

Team,
Please consider making at least a 5' cord soon; however, most of us prefer 6' so we can use it while charging or our children use it in the back seat of a vehicle.

We would rather have your product over after market, but we all buy what comes out first to meet our needs.

Do love my IPHONE 5 the day it was released...
