Reviews for Lightning to USB Cable (1 m)

The new small, polarized design of the lightning connector is brilliant.

The strain relief on the lightning end is still lacking. Apple of old would have fixed this problem by now. In fact Apple did fix the problem while creating another. The short corded 30 pin to Lightning adapter does have a proper strain relief. However it is larger than the standard cord. The case manufacturers have to allow for two different lightning plug sizes now. Big mistake. This should have been standardized by using the stronger plug/cord for both upon the release of the Lightning connector. I had to return an $80 dollar waterproof case because the larger plug did not fit.

Heads would have rolled not too long ago because of this oversight.

Somehow Apple needs to get the heavier duty plug and strain relief into all of the USB and power cord designs. This would make the entire line better and safer. MagNotSoSafe cords need this treatment as well.

Lastly, I would also like to request shorter and longer USB cord options for my iOS devices as so many have requested before me. I especially need a short cord for attatching a battery extending device to my i5 while biking. The display and GPS need extra power to run more than an hour or two.

Thanks for your consideration.

Be well.

When I bought my iphone, it came with 2 of the cords. Both of them are broken already, and I got mine about 3 months ago. It seems like the wires got twisted around on the inside, because there's no visible holes in the casing.

My cable wrinkled up at the end of the cable only weeks after purchasing my iphone5...I never moved it or even used my phone while charging it..and it ended up ripping and sometimes wouldn't even charge...so I bought another one..SAME story, way to go apple! Charging an arm and a leg for defective products. Very unhappy customer!

We bought four new iPhone 5s and a new iPad mini for Christmas, and all but one charger has had to be replaced already. At first I thought my teens were being too rough with them. Now I realize the design is faulty in the cord and they just don;t last more than a couple months. What a rip off! NO ALTERNATIVE. TodayI will shell out another $40 for two more chargers. Bad enough we had to competely replace all chargers, docks etc, that they don't work is even more disappointing.

Apple iPhone 5 and iPad 4th both come with a new lightning to USB cable. Read all the complaints on Apple communities about the USB end getting stuck in computers, cars, etc. Apple is denying the problem and consumers are getting the run around. I noticed that certain Apple lightning to USB cables have an additional dimple on the metal part - others do not - the ones that DON'T have the dimple are the ones getting stuck...of course I have that one. A friend of mine has the one with the dimple - no problems at all. Look at the image of Lightning USB cable closely, no dimple - look at all your previous Apple products (mouse, keyboard) they all have that little dimple...and NOT getting stuck. Please recall product.

TERRIBLE! I have purchased TWO chargers and each of them resulted with a shortage and are both broken. My phone is always dead due to these chargers.

i really liked the new design on it first and that it charged faster, but after about 2-3 months it didn't work anymore, i had to twist it and find that perfect spot where it would charge and it took me usually about 15-30 minutes to find that spot. i'm now on using my 3 cord!! i really wish they would lastlonger! and i have used it in the exact same way as i did for the old cord, and the old one lasted for 2 years before i got this new one!

This cable is great because it is smaller at the end but that doesn't really matter, what matters is the length, it is a little short and should be longer so I can sit on the couch and have it be charging.

What a terrible design. I now have a broken piece stuck in a new ipad.

I like that it can charge fast but come on I've had it since it first came out and I am already on cord number 5!!! With the latest cord purchased from sprint for $30 didn't even last 2 full weeks before it started messing up. the other cords have been purchased from the apple store and they lasted about a month. I tried everything to not have my charger defect took care of it, didn't leave it plugged in when it wasn't in use yet still it fails. I seriously am getting beyond ticked off because once the phone dies it is dang near impossible to get it to start charging. the wiggle effect seems to only work when the phone is not completely dead which mine currently is ugh.
