Reviews for Lightning to USB Cable (1 m)

I have had my IPAD (Gen4) for 5 months and I've gone through TWO CORDS! Apple needs to make improvements to the Lightening/Thunder ASAP! This is ridiculous! My second cord only lasted a week! SMH...

I been through 5 of these things already! ALWAYS the connector on the iphone side that tiny wires get loose n breaks! Thus your phone can't sync & charge anymore! NO QUALITY!! Apple better fix it or make it wirelss charge or something! Really mad about it! I decided now to buy & return on them & they its defective!..HAha

Apple should be be ashamed of the product quality. Cable breaks at a stress point at the transition to the lightning connector. Two cables broken in 4 months. If this were an auto company there would be a forced product recall. Come on Apple. Get rid of some marketers and hire a few competent engineers. You should make good on this and provide refunds to all purchasers.

Ive bought this charger twice now and they work for a week then i get a "Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled" warning. I always charge my phone using my macbook Air.

i got an ipod 5 in late january or early febuary. as soon as i got th ipod my cord didnt seem to be working right since then i have had to get two new cords. i wish i never got the ipod 5 because i cant use it if it doesnt charge! I have had 3 charging cords all which broke in less than five months!!!

At first the cable is amazing it charges very quickly but within a couple months the thing breaks I have had 2 within the last six months and I have never had this problem with the 30 pin cable apple this is a problem that you need to fix

New tablet, just under 6 months with USB lightning cable, and my son and I were electrocuted. Nothing major,but the insulation just below the reinforced 8 pin had worn a pin hole. He came to me and said, "It won't charge and it stung me a little bit". I am an idiot and got a slight shock too. The cable is worth 20 bucks, so I wanted to see what was going on inside the cord.The inside of the insulation looked browned right near the pinhole that we got shocked from. A red wire was coming lose closer to the 8 pin adapter. My daughters tablet is looking similar. Its scrunching just before the reinforced part prior to the 8 pin. I'm not a trained fire marshal, but I'm tossing her 6 month old cord also. Both kids paid a large portion of the purchase price, and they have treated the tablets very well. They can only use them in the family room, so we have seen 99% of the usage of this product.
The cable has to be in the device when the battery is low. This creates a problem due to the light weight soft outer sleeve part of the cable. I think its when they are lying on a sofa and charging.The cable needs to be reinforced further out from the pin, or an entire heavy duty cable needs to be made.
I gave it 2 stars, because we are heavy users. These problems may not occur in light usage that does not deplete the battery. We are however, very disappointed with the quality and possible safety of the chord for heavy usage. I will not buy a cheap knock off, and want other heavy users, to be aware of a possible hazard.

I have gone through two of these chargers thus far since December of last year. The problem I keep having is the cord right below the part of the charger that goes into the iPod itself. After a while it starts to twist from daily use and eventually the wires inside gets messed up to the point where it no longer works. My first one that I got with my iPod Touch laster about 3-4 months, and then I had to by another one that has recently started acting up.

These cables are absolutely useless! I am genuinely on about my seventh one now. I have had to resort to buying a pack of them at a time because they just break so easily. My latest order came today, and the first one broke within 12 hours of having it. It's really beginning to frustrate me a lot!

I am now on my 3rd cord and having to try glue the end where the connector attaches to the phone! Same problem with all my chargers. The end of the connector keeps coming out, fraying or snaps. Ugh! I love my apple products but this is the worst by far! So cheaply made and is getting costly to keep buying cheap stuff. So disappointed with how this is made.
