I’ve bought non Apple chargers before and they just don’t last. I like a longer cord for when I use my iPad while it’s plugged in. My original cords for my Apple products work fine after several years but are sometimes too short. This is especially nice for travel when the charger outlet isn’t close to the bed and you want to use the alarm clock feature

Genuine Apple lightning cables are the only ones that will continue to charge your Apple device for the life of the cable. I have never found a non-Apple cable that will work long term. I always get a message like “non supported device” eventually with non Apple cables. All that said, the down side of Apple brand cables is their relatively low durability. The cable covering will come apart at the device end after a period of time. Still, I buy the genuine Apple cables because they work!

I just received these 2 meter Apple lightening cables today and can verify the ones I received are 100 percent Apple brand. Apple has posted on their webpage ways of identifying their products and I posted images of mine and theirs next to each other. As far as durability I have never had issues with Apple products besides the usual fraying at the connector end which I’m hopefully solving with this paracord trick shown in the above photo.

These are a nice length if you want to charge your device from the floor to sitting on a table. The charging cables devices come with are just a little too short, IMO. these are especially nice for travel, when you don’t know how far the outlet is going to be from a bedside table. It’s an Apple product, so there are no compatibility issues. Price is not discounted from Apple retailers, at least not substantially, so if you are looking for a special deal, you won’t find it, but that is standard for Apple products.

I have a Casely battery case for my iPhone. It would charge properly when plugged into the wall, however it would have issues charging from my computer's USB port. I tried a variety of cables and still had the same problem. So as a last resort I spent $30 on a genuine cable from Apple and viola! It fixed the problem. I guess there really is a difference between genuine Apple and even the certified cables.

This is an actual Apple brand cable!! I have ordered so many other cables that claim to be Apple and they were so far from it!! This one is legit!! Definitely recommend buying!!

We were done with the off-brand cables poorly charging our iPad Pro's. I bit the bullet and paid for the more expensive Apple brand, and could not be happier. This is an authentic Apple product, and is very high quality. We paired these new cables with new Apple chargers, and immediately noticed a dramatic improvement in charging time on our iPad Pro's. There are some grumpy reviews on this, but the two that we purchased are authentic Apple products, brand new in retail Apple packaging. They work so well, we couldn't be happier with the purchase.

I know there are dozens of these offered by other companies and I hate that Apple forces you to use their own stuff that is wildly overpriced, but after trying several of the cheaper knockoffs out there I keep coming back to the original Apple cord. I've had nothing but troubles with the cheaper cords, usually our devices (iPhones and iPads) will give us errors stating that the cords are not providing enough power to charge the batteries, and with speed chargers like the iClever those cheaper cords fall flat on their faces. These OEM cords are the only ones that have performed flawlessly for us and we only really have to keep buying them because we keep losing them haha

The cord is definitely a genuine Apple product. It came in a sealed box, fit just like an Apple product should, started charging right away & picked up Carplay fast too. No wiggly jiggling of the cord needed, like the previous non Apple product that died. Never going to buy off brand again.

This item arrived for me a few weeks ago, and I put it to use in my car immediately. It is a real Apple product, a lightning to USB charger that is 3 feet long. It’s a perfect length for my car and connects to CarPlay.
