    People need to just get over it!

    • Written by from New York

    This lightening cable is sleeker and with evolution comes new things. i just bought 4 of them and have placed them strategically throughout my home, car and office. I don't buy the piece about it being faster, but it really isn't that big of a deal. I can't wait until the new iPad comes out so I can totally eliminate my 30 pin connectors altogether! Onward and upward...

    Genius....... both side the same. No fumbling.

    • Written by from Putnam Valley

    I have to say I wasn't happy when I read that Apple was switching over to a smaller USB connector. In the past I have had some difficulty with the smaller USB connectors that came with other products such as my Nook. But this is a breeze. It fits right in with no problems what so ever. Also that it will fit either way was genius! No fumbling to see which side faces up.

    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!

    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

    I have had 3 of these chargers and after a week they stop working. Do they have warranty on these? I'm so tired of buying new ones.

    Poor Design

    • Written by from Chapmanville

    It's cord only lasted about 4 months before it quit charging. It kills me to pay $19 for another, I think they should replace them when they quit charging

    • Written by from WEST PATERSON

    This Lightning charger is absolute garbage!! I have now gone threw 5 and they are still breaking. Horrible build quality. You must be supercareful not to bend the wire or else you will be lead to utter doom and end up payin 19 dollars for a new one. Very disapointed in you apple!

    Very bad (not Apple-like) quality!

    • Written by from Los Angeles

    The cable lasted few months, and broke on BOTH ends, and stopped charging. I am VERY disappointed, as I am a loyal Apple customer, but things like this will make me switch to other brands. I just don't have time to go there and get another one when I need my phone CHARGED. Apple R&D staff please do something asap.

    Horrible

    • Written by from Kent

    I recieved my iPod 5th generation for Christmas. Everything was fine until February when my charger slowly stopped working over a duration of three days.
    I bought a new one thinking it was just a faulty cord, now this cord has completely stopped working. I am so dissapointed in this product.
    I love the design. The length could be longer, but it is nice. I wish that Apple wouldn't have focused so much on the design and worried about the functionality of the product.
