I know many of you don't like the fact about this Apple lighting cable. It's not going to last as long as the other aftermarket brand. But Apple use software to control you to spend more money on their products. Apple use a software to detect the current flow through your charge port to your battery. So your battery is no directly connect to charging port. I find this Apple lighting cable is the only cable that will charge your phone in a long run; even not going to last long. So just give Apple the $20 for this cable if you want to charge your iPhone, iPad, and many Apple products.

Best bet to not have the iPhone say an annoying screen notifications of the wrong cord is to just but there cord that’s been designed to wear out rather quickly. I buy a lot of apple products that come with lightening cords and I just bring the cords back to the apple store when they start to fall apart, usually after about a year! Lol Apple will warranty for 1 year!! That’s how much confidence that have in the life span of there premium lightening cord! But I still buy the junk because the cord has the best chance of not sending annoying notifications of being the wrong cord.

I was going out of town on a girls trip and decided to purchase another charger for y phone instead of taking my home charger. I made this purchase from my local Best Buy. I never opened the charger, only packed it in my suitcase. When I got to Florida, I realized this doesn’t charge my phone nor does it support any of my Apple products. I vacationed in FL for 5 days and when I returned home and tried to exchange of course I was denied. I won’t say it was Best Buy because it was an apple product, I will say the customer service wasn’t great.

Apple’s cables are overpriced and they are poorly designed. The cables will eventually begin to bulge where the thin cable meets the Lightning connector. Unfortunately, cheaper cables I’ve purchased seem to stop working after a month or two with a dreaded, “This device is not supported.” message. This has been true even if the cable came from what I would consider a reputable source like Best Buy. So I slog it out buying overpriced Apple cables. At least I get around 10-12 months before I have to buy new ones.

This is an Apple lightning cable that will not run into any of the compatibility problems that third-party cables can. It works out of the box, like a charm. The problem, and the reason this is not 5 stars is that the cable does not wear well, especially near the lightning connector. The cable wears, will crack over time and will ultimately fail. Planned obsolescence at its best. Still, while it lasts, this is as good as it gets.

I had to buy a new cord, to replace the original cord that came with my I-pad pro. The cord had very little use on it, there is no visible damage to the original cord. At $20 a pop, having to buy one every 3 months would be ridiculous, and expensive. I hope the original cord was a fluke and this one has a much longer life than the original cord. The cord on my 2013 MacBook Pro is original, looks like it went through World War 3, and it still works like a champ.

Ihave a very old hand-me -down iPad mini and lost the charger cable. I thought I would have trouble finding one because the original was only one-sided and my Mom told me don't lose this one...you will never find another one. Well I couldn't find a one so I went to Best Buy and they helped me test it out and showed me that the two-sided one really does work and it's been working great ever since. Love the product. Love Best Buy
