    Easy to store

    • Written by Leo C from Toronto
    • 01 2, 19

    this cable is pretty much the same cable included in the box, but at half the length. For my use (with a laptop), it makes it easier to manage my cables.

    I don't understand how people keep breaking their cables. Just don't put pressure on the tips!

    2 new lightening cables. Both faulty.

    • Written by Peter H from Whitchurch
    • 11 20, 18

    Purchased new 2 mtr lightning cable 2 days ago. Saturday. Faulty. Looses contact in ipad socket when touched. Tried it in another ipad. Just the same. Tried old 1 mtr cable. Perfect. Monday. Took faulty cable back to shop and exchanged for another. Faulty again in exactly the same way.
    Is there a problem with this batch? Would I be better buying a Belkin cable?

    Tear up easy

    They easily tear up. Don’t last long. I had my iPhone for a year and went through at least 6 chargers.

    Really?!?

    • Written by Riain I from Kettering
    • 08 17, 18

    I brought 2 cables from Apple within months they are damaged. How though? Because my wire is all in contact and my phone just doesn’t want to charge. Popping up with “this item may not be accessible.” And I know full well 100% it’s an apple charger and not some cheap scam. I brought it from an APPLE STORE. What is wrong with your chargers? Please fix them. The don’t last long so you might as well buy one from Poundland or something that lasts about the same but so much cheaper. Not worth your money.

    Steve Jobs must be rolling over in his grave!

    • Written by KELLY S from London
    • 07 20, 18

    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.

    Worst in Accessories

    • Written by Chirag J from Yiwu
    • 07 16, 18

    I have been a very avid user of Apple products, but the original accessories never last long. Cheap Knock Offs from China last longer then these original chargers. I just use 1 cable in 1 location only, i.e I have separate cables for my car, office and home uses, and take very good care for my accessories, still I am forced to keep changing my charging cables every few months. I hope Apple considers these problems seriously and develop a charger cable which is more reliant and longer lasting.

    Good

    • 07 15, 18

    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***.

    lightning cable is simply a shame

    • Written by Nargiz H from Baku
    • 06 7, 18

    Always thought of Apple as a company producing long lasting devices, but you can't help thinking that somebody in Apple just realised they won't be able to do much money selling qualitative cables. I have old type cable that is probably 10 years old and nothing happens to it. They were thick and very well isolated. The new lightning cables are just a shame.They break so fast as the isolation is super thin. Very disappointing.

    Cord is only 18 inches long

    • Written by Lynne S from Tucson
    • 05 10, 18

    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.

    The worst of apple design ever . The lightning cable and port

    • Written by Paul B from Doncaster
    • 04 13, 18

    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

    Works great!

    • Written by Jacob W from Olive Branch
    • 04 11, 18

    This cable has not once failed me. I have taken these in and out of bags and have them everywhere. A lot of people say these cables fray a lot, but it hasn't failed me. Also, I've had them for many years.

    good cable

    • Written by Jane D from Moana South
    • 03 13, 18

    I don't understand why so many people have such issues with these cables. I have used Apple products since 2012, and never had a issue with any cables. Maybe I'm just lucky.I wouldn't hesitate to buy more if needed.

    Poor quality product

    • Written by Arundev P
    • 03 7, 18

    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.

    Great size, great product, mediocre price

    • Written by Connor M from Gladstone
    • 02 8, 18

    I mean it's Apple, that's a fact. The 0.5 m Lightning USB cable is great for connecting an iPad for Duet Display or charging an iPhone on the go. Would highly recommend for anyone who likes to go all-Apple.
