Customer Reviews & Ratings for Lightning to USB Cable (0.5 m)

You can't even get a simple cable right anymore, Apple?

This is a SHOCKINGLY FAULTY product!!

And you'd think with all the 1 star reviews you'd actually DO something about fixing the fault!

I've been through FOUR of these already - ALL have died. That's 4 x £20 = **£80** for cables - cheaply made cables with extortionate price tags!

I tried to get around this issue by investing in a sturdy and reliable Belkin cable but of course after the iOS updates it was rendered useless. So that's another £30 lost trying to run your stupid iPhone.

If you're going to force customers to buy your cables by making them the only thing we can use, at least be sure they WORK! Total monopoly. Well done for pushing customers to Android for something so simple to get right.

I read a lot of bad reviews. But had no choice but to order them. The cheaper ones from amazon weren’t lasting. That was about 2 months ago and my cables are still going strong. I think other ppl just need to learn how to take care of their s***.

No where in the product description does it say that the cord is only 18 inches long. The original cord was 3 feet. It doesn't even reach from the usb port on my computer to the desktop.

How long are apple gonna keep reinventing the wheel.
The most annoying thing about the phone is a stupid cable. Who invented it or better still who thought it was a good idea to keep selling the phone and not updating or replacing that stupid port and cable issue
Perhaps its just a purposed problem so they can rob us by charging extortionate prices for a cable that breaks.
There isnt another phone or tablet with complaints about a stupid port issue
All that great technology let down by the the worst idea in technology
Please please please . Fix it

if you spend for originals we will expect good quality from apple. I bought two phones in last one year and the cable comes along with that not lasted for two months. Please provide good quality products to the customers.

Why Apple pays such close attention to their products, yet continues to package these chintzy charging cords with theirs devices is unfathomable.

I mean I saw Jony Ive essentially bragging to Charlie Rose about precision in the new Apple HQ, where even the area unseen by building patrons is kept tidy and presentable, yet these cords break apart quickly and Apple had done nothing to fix the issue. I truly do not understand.

I have been using two of these cables daily for the past 5 years. Replaced one under warranty during the first year for an intermittent incompatible error message that turned out to be due to an iOS issue, which was later solved. Since then, they have performed flawlessly (but the white surfaces have become a bit dirty so prefer to have a black color option). So, in my long-term experience, these work quite well and I recommend them for routine use.
