Reviews for Lightning to USB Cable (1 m)

It does the job but the small totally square plug is tough on the fingers. I don't mind the new lightning port - love not having to pay attention to its orientation. But the USB end is awful.

pro:
the new design means there is it's easier to insert in the phone which is a huge plus when in a hurry or in the car. the 9-pin port is a brilliant by-product of the changes in phone design to accommodate the other upgrades.

con:
the form factor was upgraded but it's still USB 2.0?

i bought 3 of these in addition to the one that came with the phone so that i wouldn't have to move this cable from room to car to room. it is a necessity (at least for me) but there was no joy in purchasing these.

I love how much smaller it is, and it's reversible! Except I was a bit disappointed to see they haven't accelerated the speed to USB 3.0 yet. My Retina has USB 3.0 and so does the Air and standard Pros so why not make the cable to work to the rising standard.

I ordered this thinking that the wall plug adapter was included. Nope. Just the cable. They should probably make it more clear on this product page that the wall plug adapter is not included.

I like that it's smaller. That's nice. However, it's still way too short. Way too short. There should at least be an option to but different lengths, or just default the length to 6-8 feet. These cords barely, if at all, make it from the wall outlet to a table top. Or a night stand. Or a desk, or my lap, or a chair base...

If this was longer in length, it would be a 5-star rating. Because it is convenient being reversible, it's a usb (always handy) and it's faster, more durable, lighter, cooler, my point is made.

However, it all comes down to how you use it. And this will be used for charging my phone. Sadly, I'll have to sit on the floor with my phone to use it while plugged in.
