    Terrible quality

    • Written by from Hicksville

    When i first purchased my iPhone 5, it came with this and after about 2 months, the rubber layer started to rip and eventually lead to the wire being completely torn. After i purchased a second, after 3 weeks, it started to malfunction and the wire would only work if i had in a specific position and after 5 weeks, it stopped working. After the third purchase, it had the same problem as the last one but lasted almost 3 months. I feel as this should not happen as often as it should and is rediculous

    One size fits none

    • Written by from Fredericksburg

    In my opinion, too long to use in the car for charging. It is definitely too short to use connected to a wall outlet with an iPad or iPhone on the desk, unless you like the iPad flush against the wall. It barely makes it up onto the desk. The only application where this works is when you have a computer (on your desk, such as a laptop) that supplies a nearby port. Otherwise, plan on buying either USB extenders, or placing a power supply on top of your desk, or moving your desktop workstation ontop of the desk. The old 30-pin came in a much shorter and a longer variety, which were suitable for different tasks. This one is definitely "one size fits none."

    • Written by from Chicago

    i bought a new iPad mini yesterday. They changed the cord!?!...I have it 18 hours and the cord no longer works. I have five old cords and now I have to go buy a new cord....I don't see the advantage other than more proprietary items you HAVE to buy

    Lightning connector is better than older cable.

    Really? WT....Heck

    • Written by from Cocoa

    Pro: Charges quick and doesn't matter which way you plug it.
    Con: Bad quality cable that has failed in 4 months of routine use.

    Have had this cable from my iPad since December 2012 and used cable just about 4 months. It will not charge anymore. It was not being carted everywhere but so what if I was. Apple is supposed to be a premier product to match the premier price. Instead we are getting ho hum phones, product updates that maximize profits, maps that don't work, and and now cords that last 3 month 6 months. Stop sleeping on success. Steve's name will only carry Apple so far. Apple convert since 2007.

    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

    This is the second cord that has broken. I have had my ipod since December. My sister also has had her ipod since December and has had to replace her cord as well. Apple replaced the first cord.

    Two cables bad so far

    • Written by from LAKE HAVASU CITY

    Looks like this design is turning to be the worst design apple has for charging.

    The cables aren't long lasting, very short life span

    • Written by from East Palatka

    I've been on vacation for 6 weeks, and have gone through at least 4 cables. They all seem to pull out from where it connects to the IPad. They all start out great, but by the beginning of the second week, they do not want to charge the Ipad...this is getting annoying and expensive. Is there some adapter that can be purchased to strengthen the cable connection into the Ipad, that will not pull the wires out. I am very careful in connecting and disconnecting the device, but I cannot believe that the "new cable" is this bad! Please advise on how to rectify this problem.

    Thank you

    Need to fix the cable

    • Written by from Cheyenne

    This cable is the least durable thing ever I would rather have the old charger back than this. They need to fix it I'm going to have to get a new cable tomorrow this will be the third one and its only been 4 months. If apples sales go down this will be why.

    Absolute JOKE

    • Written by from Hammond

    I've had this cord for about four months and the lightning end of the cord came loose and won't charge my phone. It's a shame the 30-pin connecters would last 4 years, not 4 months.

    Grrrrr

    • Written by from Houston

    I've owned many cables for iphones, ipods, Macs for years and never experienced any problems with them. Now, I've had 2...TWO of these Lightning to USB cables go bad. They both cause connection issues. I am replacing them today and hoping they will be of the quality I have come to expect from Apple products.

    Good design and well made

    • Written by from Washington

    The "lightning" plug - the end that connects to the phone - is a big improvement over the old 30 pin design: smaller, reversible, stronger, easier to insert - much better than a micro USB. The cable itself is strong, soft and flexible. The USB end, of course, like the old cable, plugs into your computer for syncing or charging, or into the small Apple power converter cube for even faster wall charging. As with any electrical cable, do not kink it; do not yank the cord to unplug it; insert and remove the plugs gently. Duh. If for some reason the cord should fail within a year ( mine never have) by all means take it back to any Apple store or put it into an envelope and return it to Apple for a replacement.

    Seems like there is a trend here

    • Written by from Denver

    My lightning to USB cord also lasted me about four months as well! I have to put it on a hard surface after fidgeting with it for five minutes. My 30-pin cord lasted about five years! These are very poorly made and I'm not happy about having to shell out $20 for a cord! I love my iPod touch but now I'm hesitant to get an iPhone if every few months I have to spend $20 for a poorly made cord!

    Poor Quality

    • Written by from Blanding

    I have had my iPhone 5 for about five months and my charger has stopped working. After reading many reviews, other Apple customers have had the same problem. My 30 pin cords have lasted me a very long time (6 years). I am very disappointed that I am already having to buy a new cord, especially since I am broke college student, I can not afford to be buying new chargers every six months or so. These cords are no where near long enough for charging the phone either.

    Cord lasted 4 months!

    • Written by from Boston

    I bought 3 of these cords and 2 of them stopped working after 4 months! For $19 a pop they should work a lifetime!

    I have an old ipod cord from 2005 that still works.... what happened to the quality on the new iphone cords?

    Not happy.
