    Cable Quality is very disappointing

    I thought I was the only one with this problem. I can't believe the cable is such a problem. I can't even use my ipod since I can't charge at all. It won't charge and it won't connect to the computer. I am ordering a new one today and have only had my ipod 5 for 5 months. I never had this problem with the old cables.

    Broken after 3 months!

    cable only lasted 3 months before cord became twisted and could no longer charge phone. Genuine Apple product as it came with the iPhone 5. No more "harsh" with this cable than with prior phone charger cables, iPod, iPad, etc cables which are all original. Seems like defective workmanship on this one!!

    I just recently got an iPod touch 5 and the charger just stopped working. I've had this happen repeatedly. Not acceptable apple.

    Upgraded to the iPhone 5 and so far everything's been great except for the horrible quality of the charger. It seems like I'll have to buy a replacement cord to charge my phone every 4 months. You would think that Apple would've put more effort into making a better quality product.

    I just broke my second one and im getting awfully poed. When you try to play the phone sideways, that bends the wite causing the inner parts to tear. I am fed up with this and want there to be some way of fixing this!

    This charger is garbage

    Yes this charger is a joke, my family has two of these "new" chargers and conveniently they both broke within 3 months at the same time. Now we are looking to buy 2 new ones which are extremely hard to find, because the break so easily. It is completely garbage quality and apple should be embarrassed to have their name on this product. To top it off we have 10 of the old chargers. And cannot use them, btw they have never broken.

    doesn't last, too expensive.

    Does not charge or connect to the computer after only 2 months. Apple store replaced it for free but its too far away for me to keep having to go to have a stinking cable replaced so I can use my phone.

    Problems like many others

    I have had similar problems as many others in regards to the longevity of this cable. Had my phone less than 6 months and just came on the Apple site to order another (I've had three) cable! Very poor quality which is disappointing as I am so very happy with everything other Apple product I have! What a silly thing to be lacking in Apple!

    I am now getting my second charger for this iPhone. They go out very fast, horrible quality. It really needs to be stepped up. I got this iPhone in that late January, already through two chargers. That's ridiculous.

    I loved the size of the charger, it was easy to plug into the phone but it broke so quickly! It doesn't last and I'm really unhappy with that... Dreading buying a new one since its pretty expensive and knowing it won't last long.... Really upset.

    Got it with my iPhone and it now stopped working. Very poor quality. The iPhone 4 cable never stopped working. It is a shame that newer doesn't mean better. It means worse. Veru unhappy that I have to pay for another one.

    I like that the cable is reversible ... but they sure seem to wear out fast. I have been through 3 cables since I got my iPhone 5. My 30 pin cables never failed. I hope they make them more durable if this is going to be the cable we are supposed to use for the next decade ...

    Very bad (not Apple-like) quality!

    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.
