Best AnswerDisappointingly it is only USB 2.0. Says so right there in the details. I was hoping for a lightning to thunderbolt cable or at least USB 3.0. What's the point of a new dock if you can't at least get much faster transfer speeds?

Answer
No, but you can:
1. Get the 1m cable from apple and skip to the '4. '
or:
2. keep your cable and skip to the '4. '
3. Do both and go to the next number (4. )
4. go to eBay or amazon, and search for a 'USB Male to Female 3m cable' (you can change the '3' to whatever you like) and find one there (preferably the cheapest one). once you have got it, (excitingly) unwrap it from the packaging, and run to the plug where your charger is, plug the end of the extension cable into the charger (carefully, and make sure you plug it in the correct way up to avoid embarrassment) and plug the apple USB wire/cable of your choice into the female (port) end of the wire. Enjoy your super long cable!

Can you write to an SD Card from an iPad via the ligntning to SD adapter?
- Asked by Mark H from Akron
- Nov 26, 2012
- Flag as inappropriate
AnswerAnswer is NO; the SD card adapter is one-way only. Ie, you can only import photos into your iPad, not export. You'll need the Lightning to USB cable in order to connect your iPad to your laptop or desktop as if it was a camera, and then use File Manager (on a PC) to transfer the picture files to the PC. If you look at iPhoto on the iPad, the only functions available are to Import photos from your SD card, not the other way around.

Best AnswerIt depends on the way you purchase the cable.
If Included inside the box of your iPhone 5: The cable carries the same warranty as your iPhone 1 year- 2 year depending of you purchase Apple Care. If your cable suffers due to a manufacturer defect then after scheduling a Genius Bar Appointment they will swap the cable for you. Physical damage from the consumer is not covered.
If cable is purchased as a separate accessory: You have 1 year of coverage. This also only covers defects in workmanship. Not Abuse or damage resulting from the consumer.- Answered by Steven B from Cypress
