eBay Lightning Cables

[Pistachio]

Can anyone confirm that the lightning cables on ebay work with the latest ios? I'm looking for a new charger cable for my 5S

Cheers

Personally wouldn't bother, you'll be buying a new one in a few weeks - I know £20 is expensive for a cable from Pc World ect... But 100x better and last as the ones on eBay simply DONT.

Correct,
They are substandard quality really. Hense why so cheap.

Id buy proper ones to make sure they are conformed with safety legislation.

Talking about the iPhone lightning cables? If so I have bought a few and never had an issue 99p and easily lasts 9-12 months.

It's 50/50 personally I wouldn't bother going for a knock off. I got a Belkin cable which is a little cheaper but certified and works really well (you can also choose different lengths)

Buy the apple micro usb to lightening adapter.

It will never break. Then buy 2 meter lengths of micro usb cable from e bay for £3 a go if you break one.

I've been using one for over a year and it still works perfectly.

Ive never had any break on me since I've had iPhones from the 3G onwards, but then I appear to one of those quite rare people that look after their stuff.

I buy Amazon's basic lightening cable and they are far better than Apple's own and last a hell of a lot longer.

I have my original for home and a belkin one for the PC / in the car. Seems built well and lasted quite a while so far, wasn't a bad price from Maplin.

Got the Amazon basic cable as well, extra length comes in handy

IMO the official one's aren't worth it, the Anker ones are just as good and much cheaper - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00K4VQZCM/?tag=cliospnet01-21

Wilkinsons do them for £2.50 and work fine
