Reviews for Lightning to USB Cable (1 m)

While the cable has an elegant minimalistic design and the reversibility of the connector makes it easier to plug into the phone, having to carry around the 1 cable that I've apparently been rationed to everywhere with me because of insanely short supply (backordered weeks to months at just about any vendor, including Apple itself) completely cancels out the convenience of the reversible plug.

pro:
the new design means there is it's easier to insert in the phone which is a huge plus when in a hurry or in the car. the 9-pin port is a brilliant by-product of the changes in phone design to accommodate the other upgrades.

con:
the form factor was upgraded but it's still USB 2.0?

i bought 3 of these in addition to the one that came with the phone so that i wouldn't have to move this cable from room to car to room. it is a necessity (at least for me) but there was no joy in purchasing these.

I like that it's smaller. That's nice. However, it's still way too short. Way too short. There should at least be an option to but different lengths, or just default the length to 6-8 feet. These cords barely, if at all, make it from the wall outlet to a table top. Or a night stand. Or a desk, or my lap, or a chair base...

If this was longer in length, it would be a 5-star rating. Because it is convenient being reversible, it's a usb (always handy) and it's faster, more durable, lighter, cooler, my point is made.

However, it all comes down to how you use it. And this will be used for charging my phone. Sadly, I'll have to sit on the floor with my phone to use it while plugged in.

Great idea going with the smaller, reversible lightning cable. I like it a lot. until I have to remove it from my USB port on my computer or power adaptor. it fits very tight in every USB port i've tried. Im afraid to plug it back into my MacBook Pro for fear of it destroying the slot completely.

I love how much smaller it is, and it's reversible! Except I was a bit disappointed to see they haven't accelerated the speed to USB 3.0 yet. My Retina has USB 3.0 and so does the Air and standard Pros so why not make the cable to work to the rising standard.

i love the new tip for the cable. it fits no matter which way it is turned. the downfall, apple still made it as short as the previous usb cable. even if you have a wall socket directly by your bed there is barely enough room for the cable to reach to a night stand. come on apple make a longer cable, we have been saying this since the original iphone. ill spend $20 on cheaply made 6 and 10 foot cables for $5 a piece before i buy a second short cable from apple. the only thing this cable is good for is if it is in your car because 41 inches is plenty for a car charger.

The cable is practically the same length as the one included with the iPhone 4 and 4S.

It also charges my iPhone 5 at around the same speed as the old cable charged my iPhone 4S.

I don't know if I'm the only one but it takes extra long to sync my device now though. Both my 4S and iPhone 5 have 64GB and the same content so I'm not sure if the problem is due to the new iPhone 5 or the new cable.

The cable is too short.

betere than the old ones

My cable isn't working I have used it ever since I got my iPod and I have always treated it very well but out of no where now it just doesn't charge unless its in the right spot... But I really like this charger how it's small and very fast
