    Disappointing product

    • Written by Alison B from Aldershot
    • 22-Aug-2014

    My first charger was replaced for free as the plug overheated so you could hardly touch it. The second one lasted about 8 months then the cable went faulty so will have to pay for a replacement myself this time.

    It... Broke?

    • Written by Aimee-Leigh A from Wellington
    • 21-Aug-2014

    I've had my iPod about a month now and the charger is already broken. Reading the comments on here and factoring in the price, I'm beginning to think these things are more trouble than they're worth. I might just go back to my blackberry...

    Complete Garbage

    • Written by Jonathan B from Brampton
    • 21-Aug-2014

    I thought it was me and/or my phone that was causing me to burn through these cables. I am on my fourth one since Nov 2013 so 10 months. These cables are total garbage and they should be warranting them or changing them cuz I am tired of spending $25 every couple months for a new cable.

    VERY BAD QUALITY

    • Written by Victor P from San Pedro Sula
    • 18-Aug-2014

    IPHONE 5 BATTERY IS THE WORSE FEATURE OF THE PHONE, SO YOU BADLY NEED THE CHARGER ANYWHERE YOU GO, YOU CAN ONLY CHARGE THE PHONE WITH THE ORIGINAL CABLE, AND IT BRAKES EVERY THREE OR FOUR WEEKS. IF APPLE IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A POWER SUPLY FOR ITS PHONES, AT LEASE THEY SHOULD ALOUD PEOPLE TO CHARGE IT WITH ANY AVAILABLE CABLE. THIS SITUATION MAKES ME SERIOUSLY CONSIDER TO GET A SAMSUNG S 6.

    Stopped working after 11 months

    • Written by Angela H from RIDGELAND
    • 16-Aug-2014

    I only used this cable for 11 months before it stopped working. Yes, I was extremely careful with it. The price does not suit the quality of the cable. Apple needs to make their cables more long-lasting and durable.

    Please! 3 cables in a year...

    • Written by Christopher D from Burnaby
    • 15-Aug-2014

    I like the lightning cable concept, but the wire and strain device is garbage. It is either poor materials or poorly designed. If you are going to use non standard cables and connectors, make them better not worse than micro USB...

    Poor design

    • Written by Darryl W from Woodbridge
    • 15-Aug-2014

    Like everyone else, I think this cable is poorly designed at the lightning connector end. One accidental kink or pull on the cord and the wires are screwed. From then on it will be "guess which angle will work" until it just stops altogether. Currently, I have to wedge it against something at a 90 degree angle and hope that it doesn't move. If you travel with this thing, put it in a hard case by itself because it doesn't handle getting jostled about very well.

    I'll contrast this with the old 30-pin connector which has lasted years of travel, being shoved in bags of other equipment and mashed around a great deal. I think there are two problems: 1) the old connector would usually disconnect if too much force were applied on the cord, preventing the wires from inadvertently breaking. You really have to apply some force to the new connector to disconnect it, which opens the door for accidents. 2) the old connector was wider, so easier to grab at the sides without accidentally bending the cord. The new connector is so thin you have to be very careful where you're grabbing it and which angle you're pulling to maintain the integrity of the cord.

    After reading all these reviews, I might just get a bunch of cheap third-party knockoffs that are a fraction of the Apple price. Sad that this has to be a budgeting factor.

    Been through 4 cables in 9 months

    • Written by William L from Dallas
    • 12-Aug-2014

    I'm now having to dish out yet another $30 for a (apple wouldn't let me publish the word here) product that doesn't work for more than three months if you're lucky at usual wear and tear. The next phone I get will be a Samsung.

    WHO DESIGNED THIS?

    • Written by Vicki M from Valencia
    • 11-Aug-2014

    I have gone through FOUR cables in the last month because they are so poorly designed. Overall, pretty disappointed. Apple needs to rethink their innovations because they lost it.

    Fix your cables Apple. Seriously.

    • Written by Salny E from Toronto
    • 11-Aug-2014

    I will be replacing my cable for perhaps the fifth time in just over a year. The cable is used minimally and well cared for and still they die one by one. Trust me they aren't on the battlefield or being used as jump rope- it's used on my bedside table and charges while I am asleep.

    While travelling last week I had to bring spare cables just in case one or more stopped working.

    The previous cables were a pain to plug in but they seemed to last longer than a month...

    Worst design

    • Written by Zach W from Lynnfield
    • 11-Aug-2014

    I've gone through three of these since October 2013. With my iPhone 4, I used the same cable for three years. With any other phone I've ever owned (MicroUSB), I've only had to replace a cable ONCE. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Not fit for purpose

    • Written by Mike O from Canterbury
    • 11-Aug-2014

    These cables are VERY expensive for what they do yet are also VERY prone to faults and to early failure

    Apple, you should not be OK with this. This is letting you down badly. A cable. A simple cable is letting down the whole of the iPhone experience.

    You need to redesign it so that it is more robust. Better still, revisit the idea of the dock which will solve many of these issues. Better Better still, do wireless charging

    Charging cables

    • Written by David S from Anchorage
    • 11-Aug-2014

    I have bought 6 cables for charging my daughters 5c's. The initial problem was they just kept breaking. Now since I upgraded their software the two chargers I bought from Fred Meyers at the same time off of the same shelf one works just fine and the other one keeps giving me an error and not supported by this device. What is going on? Getting extremely frustrated

    • 10-Aug-2014

    Multiple cables broken for both iPhone and nano. 7 in total so far. Hope this is dealt with before iPhone 6 launches. Can't justify spending over 600 euro on a phone when your can't rely on the charger to power it up! 0 star rating
