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

If those of you who gave a negative review would have read the description and called a rep you would have noticed it's not as thick nor as long as a regular one. These are primarily made for use in a vehicle so they aren't as long nor do they have the thickness. I have the same lightning charger for my phone as I had when the first one came. It is still in great shape and it's been through hades and back, including having a cat that wanted to chew it. This says it is 0.5 m. The others don't. This works great for charging in my car and not having a cord so long. And the charging cable that comes with their products is nice and long unlike other brands. If it's given you a not supported message it is probably what you are plugging it into to get power NOT their own cable. Oh, learn to spell.

The reason these cables fail is because people are pulling the cable from the cord and not from the plastic white bit and also because folks wrap the cable up leaving the ends open to getting caught on other objects then yanking them out of storage!

I've never had a cable fail (yet) and I've been using the lightning cable since 2012, My wife on the other hand has but she does the above, pulls it from the cord!

Only reason i didn't rate this 5 is because the price increase from £15 to £19 cannot be justified!

As much as I love Apple, the company makes the most fragile accessories and cables. Of course, they are not standard so you have to order from them. They seem to break under normal use and I am always afraid that they will fray and break down.
When you need to use your equipment it is stressful to find out that you can't charge something.

Apple, start making better cables.

For a company like Apple, or for any company for that matter, it is just downright embarrassing to make a product that consistently fails. I never ever had another cable where the insulation just spontaneously started to fray at the flex points. I've had 2 cables, both gently handled, both failed, with the insulation just fraying from the inside wire.

This cord broke in a few months after purchasing new. A cord from a different brand lasted longer. This product is a disgrace to Apple product quality and the company in general. How hard is it to make a decent cord? It's a joke

I am sick of buying this stupid cable every month. Now they raised the price from £15 to £19. Are you serious apple? What is wrong with you guys. I am switching my phone soon, bye bye apple.

I have several of these in various lengths. Never had a problem with them. I have started to take a liking to the 0.5m cables though. I've twisted them, rolled them, spun them, and haven't had any tear or fray. I fist 'em up and stuff 'em in my backpack, I twist 'em up when connecting devices in the car or in the home. I'm not sure what people expect of these cables, but they do the job. I gave 4 stars because Apple only offers them in white. Just kidding.

I have needed to replace my lightning cable for my iPhone 5 a total of three times now since purchasing it. Unlike the 30pin connector for my 3rd gen ipad, which still works fine, the lightning cable (by Apple) is not suitable for daily use. Regardless it still needs to be used multiple times daily to charge a phone.

if there were the option of zero stars, this would be it.
had the phone6 for a year now, purchased a dozen of chargers (not counting "borrowing mom, dad, sis, bro" chargers).
they were made for single use? for a premium product as Iphone, i was hoping a more rigid charger that would last a year, and not short my laptop & phone. i'll be buying 4 more chargers now, and spend 100$, knowing that in 4 months i'll be back to the shop, and the salesman won't be surprised :(

This charger lasts no longer than 5/6 months. This month made the 6th month for my use of the charger and it just went out. I didn't even move it around, it stayed in the same place from the beginning and I was careful with it. Apple needs to do better with the charger! How can you have top of line electronics with worthless chargers?! Can't even keep your things charged. ��
