    Too small I would’ve got a larger one for the price I was being cheap and not spending that money. I don’t know why it would take that cord to make it be so expensive when after a year they were out..

    Great cord length for inside the car when you don’t need a longer cable getting in your way. Only thing that worries me is the durability, since the Apple cable seem to get damaged in time. Luckily I take good care of my electronics and accessories, so they last longer for me than most apparently. Thanks

    New phone didn't work with non-Apple brand charging cables I had invested in for my iPhone X and iPad. Also.."Fun Fact" the new cable that comes with the iPhone 11 Pro is USB-C and not compatible with my car USB 2.0 ports. Luckily this cable works with the new iPhone 11 series phones. When Apple lets you down Best Buy saves the day.

    I know it's more expensive buying Apple brand products but this will last you a long time. I've tried knockoff lightning cables on Amazon but they just don't work as well as the genuine Apple products. I've been buying all of my Apple products and devices at Best Buy.

    This is a typical Apple Cable that will last a few months before having issues. It is extremely overpriced, and was only purchased when the previous cables failed. Best Buy is in a stage of finding itself, with a variety of electronics, appliances, security devices. and phone services. The brick and mortar store will likely become a thing of the past, with better options available through online offerings.

    Amazing product! My digital bits are so much cleaner. More importantly, it actually makes my movie plots better! As we all know, HDMI is a digital protocol, and so a bit is a bit when it comes through the other end, right? Wrong! You have to remember that those bits are transferred by pushing electrons through the metal in the cables. You also need to remember that electrons have spin at the quantum level. And, according to Deepak Chopra, with objects in a quantum state, even though actions happened in the past, they may not actually be determined until some time in your future. So you see, even though the movies have already been made, how I observe them affects the actual outcome of the movie, and by watching my movies through this amazing cable the plots of those movies have improved!

    Authentic apple product can’t be beat. Cheap knock off compatible accessories don’t perform as well nor do they last as long. I’m always satisfied with Best Buy’s selection of electronics and accessories I need.

    I wanted a charging cable that could connect to my phone while it’s on the cradle in my car. I had a long cord previously, but hated having the cord get tangled or twisted up. This small length is perfect for the car cradle and doesn’t have tons of extra cord all over the car! Love it!

    Needed a shorter cord for cable management when charging apple devices connected to a circular charging hub . Works fine with phones and iPads and allows for multiple devices to charge without tangling all the cables.

    I picked this up to do Apple Car Play without having a bunch of extra cording in the front cluttering up the car on long trips. So, far, it's surviving these heatwaves, but I don't know how it will hold up in the winter.

    Apple Lightning Cable

    I needed a genuine Apple Lighting cable to hook up my iPhone to my Kenwood automobile stereo headunit. I was looking for a shorter cable. Best Buy was the only one who carried even this short of a cable. it works, but I wish I could have found a 6" cable and if it came in black it would be even better. I may even paint this cable black. Still looking, but this will do for now on.
