Apple - 1.6' Lightning-to-USB Cable - White

Hello, I purchased these 6'-6" registered Apple Trademark cables and I am very pleased with them, the reason for the longer length is for my couch, the cable goes from the outlet under the couch to the front for convenience to charge all my apple products (except laptops) I have the iPad charger hooked up to the 6'-6" cable and it quickly charges my iPhone and families iPhones too. I just want buyers beware of the inexpensive online and cheap in mall fakes I know people buy the fake non trademark Apple cables to save money but after time they fail so spend a extra $20.00 and get well made cables. They also hold up to my grandson pulling the connector from the wire part of the cable. Oh if your in the market definitely get the longer cable. NOTE: I bought one more 6'-6" cable for my bedroom night stand that actually is long enough to use while laying down watching TV and texting too. Thank you for reading Reviews help consumers .

I bought the new iPad Mini on the release date and the charging cord works like all the other apple cords. They provide a quick charge but then all the cords connection will get weak within a few months. (I've had this cord for 4 months. I take very good care of my cords). As I'm typing this review, my fingers are supporting the connector so my iPad can charge. As soon as I let go, my iPad will no longer be charging. (I only charge to an wall outlet.). I also get the message that "this accessory is not supported by this device"---This cord came with the device! I have had these same issues with my iPhone & my iPod. The cords eventually broke open with gentle use of charging once daily. So, I have switched my other apple devices to Belkin cords and I haven't had any problems. So today, I will be going to Best Buy to purchase a lightening cable cord from another brand than apple. I love apple products but their charging cords are not made well.

After losing the lighting cable that was included in the box with my iPhone, I was tempted to buy a cheap $10 or $15 knock off like I usually do. I have tried countless lightning cables, only to have the tip break off in days or months, and I am not hard on my charging cables. Now, I’m not saying this charger is without flaws, as many I know—myself included—have had issues with the cord fraying or getting bent out of shape on the Apple Brand cables. The one thing I do like about some of the third party cables vs the Apple brand is the reinforced casing, whether it be fabric or just thicker, but I’d prefer a more sturdy connector that lasts. I’ve never experienced one of the Apple brand tips breaking or breaking off into my phone. I’ve had this one for a few weeks (thought not very long) and so far, so good! I also love how this particular model is about twice as long as the one you get with your phone. Money well spent!

I like to stick with authentic Apple products (or any primary brand products) as much as possible, due to preference and reliability. With that said, I love the length of this cable, and I'm glad Apple made a cable twice as long as the stock cable that comes with the iPhones/iPods. I hope they will someday sell the same length cable that comes with the iPad Pros, which is even longer; I can see the benefit of having more options when it comes to cable length, in order to meet the needs of customers. As with my previous experiences with Apple cables, they're very well made and sturdy. I take good care of my belongings, so they always appear pristine after months/years of use. My only recommendation for Apple is that they make colored cables....cables that would even mimic the colors of their phones: gold, rose gold, space gray, silver, etc. Personally, I buy my HDMI cables from a particular company that makes them in different colors, which helps me differentiate which devices they're connected to in my entertainment system. I think this would be a nice benefit to have for households that plug in multiple Apple devices in close proximity.

First the MFI Certified non-Apple brand Lightning Cable that I was using as the USB input to my car stereo started to not recognize my iPhone SE on occasion giving "The device you are using may not be supported" message and would stop charging. Secondly the music quality was staring to get sketchy: as in sometimes the tone would be muffled, others it would be quieter than normal, then overly bright without any changes to the settings on my radio. It was getting to the point that I thought that I was going to have to start troubleshooting the radio, EQ, or Amps to find out what the problem was. Then the cable stopped charging my iPhone at all so it was time to replace it. I tore into the dash of my truck, removed the old cable, installed the new Apple Lightning Cable, and put everything back together. What a difference. The audio sounds better than ever and all of the little glitches went away. I guess as far as Lightning Cables go the Apple brand is the only way to go.

I don't know what it is, but Apple seems to know when you use cord that isn't an Apple brand cord. It's kind of annoying, especially when they keep changing the technology to "better" or "faster" whatevers so I have to go out and buy yet another cord. That being said, the Apple brand products always work right away when plugged in. The longevity however leaves a lot to be desired. Outside of my cords alone, I've seen countless charging cords from many friends of mine that get shredded at the joint fairly easily. For the price, they should have more durability built into these cords, especially when you pony up for the full price brand name cord. I recommend this cord so you know it works, I just don't recommend you being ever so slightly hard on it or it might break.

I know Apple cables are uber expensive, but I thought I could save a couple dollars by buying it here at Best buy. But the first warning sign of trouble was when I opened the shipping envelope and discovered the cable came inside a small clear plastic bag instead of Apple's trademark white simple box. There was a UPC label on the bag, which corresponded to Apple's 2m cable, so maybe it was just in bulk packaging (heh, silly me for thinking that). The clear sign of a problem was when iTunes on my MacBook Pro would not recognize that my iPhone 6S was connected to it via this cable. Plugged in my Native Union Night Cable (which I normally keep in next to my bed) and the iTunes immediately recognized the phone. Doubtful the cable was defective because at least it would charge my iPad when connected to the wall adapter. Thus, the cable was obviously NOT a genuine Apple product.

Overall, I'm impressed with my Inspiron 13 2 in 1. Build quality is solid, features and ports are more than adequate for a laptop in the age of cloud storage and the machine is reasonably fast. The only thing that keeps me from rating it at 5 stars is the smaller SSD. Win 10, plus a typical dataset of pics, docs and a few songs fills it up pretty quickly. I did complete 2 things prior to loading it up: Scrub and re-install of Win 10(clean) and purchased a 1TB USB 3 drive for the music and videos that simply won't fit on the 128GB SSD. One final thing to point out - the screen on this unit is wonderful. Viewing angles are off the chart and the colors and images are accurate and clean. Using this unit in any of the typical 2 in 1 modes is incredibly easy and actually a little fun. By the way, battery life is solid - 6-7 hours and a complete charge is quick. All in all, a very good purchase.
