Reviews for Lightning to USB Cable (1 m)

I have had my ipod 5 for about 6 months and today when I was in desperate need of a charge, my charger decided to stop working. This is a COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME. Apple please go back to the old charger because this charger is a cheap piece of rubber and copper that is extremely infuriating.

waste of money..
i bought 1 cable a month.. lol

These cables are absolute garbage. They are prone to excessive breaking while (clearly) they are not too cheap to buy. You make them $5 or $10 and I'll shut my mouth. Until then, fix the gosh darn issues. Only rated it a star because I had to in order to submit (it deserves none).

This charger breaks VERY easily!! Does not last me more than 2 months! I have bought SEVERAL from the apple store and none last long! iPhone 4 chargers were WAY better!!!!

I love my iPhone 5. Hands down, best phone I have ever owned. The only thing that I cannot stand about the phone itself is the charging cable. Yeah the USB 3 is all great and it charges at a ridiculously fast rate. BUT being that I have only had my phone for six months, I would have expected better quality from the charger itself. Here is why.

The length is a tad short. But I can live with it.
With the new adapter, the charger was bound to have issues. the only way that my phone can charge now is if the chord is bent a certain way. Not only does it need to be bent sharply downward, but the kink in the chord appears to be on the verge of causing electrical vulnerability and potentially create a dangerous situation.

I will be ordering a new chord, but only to the fact that I hope that I do not have the same experience with this last chord. Should I experience it, I will be looking at other options for charging my iPhone.

This cable is cheap. I had my IPhone 5 for 6 months and the cord stopped working. Best part? Apple doesn't replace these cables under warranty because it is considered damage to the device. How? I use my cable the same way I used my 30-pin and I never had any issue.They really need to fix this issue I can't spend 20 every 6 months

I got my iPod 5 just after new years and guess what i did today 5 months later? bought my 3RD CORD!!!!!!!!!! it keeps breaking and I'm so FURIOUS at this point i don't know what to do. absolutely TERRIBLE product.

The new charger cord breaks too easily I am going on my 5 one since December. The old one lasted me about 3 years it is really frustrating having to always buy a new cord.

I've literally been through a half dozen of these since getting an iPod touch 5 and the newest iPod nano this past fall.

The lightening connector keeps getting...sort of corroded, I guess. Apparently there's a reason USB doesn't expose the physical connection on the outside. My USB cables by contrast, under the exact same conditions last YEARS. I've never actually had one go bad, yet these...these last weeks or months for me so far. I'll get occasional connect/disconnects at first, maybe it'll only work plugged in one direction. Then slowly (or quickly) it'll just stop working entirely.

If any other mobile OS handled podcasts decently I'd have to switch just because of these horrible cables. They need to use micro USB like everyone else, or heck, go back to the 30-pin connector which at least was a lot more reliable than this...

Hey Apple, I left android phones because I was tired of stuff that did not work. Started with the iphone4 and I still have the original charger that is almost 3 years old. I have replaced 3 of these lightning cables since December because the solder breaks off inside the connector from very little stress. There needs to be a real solution brought to the table for this. We don't expect this kind of garbage from an apple product.
