I originally got this cord to charge my phone until I got the lightning usb-c cord and block. It did the job just fine. I also, currently, work as a delivery driver and I needed a cord to take with me to work so I can connect my phone to listen to music, while charging my phone as well. This product is the perfect length for when I’m in my personal car or my delivery van. I don’t regret the buy. I gave this cord 4 out of 5 stars for charging power, 5 out of 5 stars for the length, & 3 out of 5 stars for durability. The best Apple charger in my opinion is the lightning usb-c cord (very fast), but it isn’t compatible in most cars. Hence my rating for this cord. As I said before, the length is perfect for use in the car. It’s not too long or too short. As for the durability, my rating is based off of Apple cords I’ve had in the past. Since getting the lightning cord and block for my home, this cord is only used in vehicles.

I recently bought Apple iPhone 8 for my dad, which was his very first Apple product. He asked me to buy an extra charging cable so he can keep it inside his car for charging while using it as GPS. I have purchased lightning cables from 3rd party vendor many times in the past but they all end up not being recognized by iphones and iPads after a year or so (most likely due to iOS updates) and I didn't want to go through the hassle of returning or buying another one for my dad so I just bought this authentic cable by Apple and this is what I should have done in the past. I currently have iPhone 8 and XR, and have confirmed that this cable works perfectly with both phones. This cable feels and works just like the one that came with the iPhone. THE BOTTOM LINE: 5 out of 5 stars. You can't go wrong with authentic Apple cable. You get what you pay for and in this case, you are paying for the quality and peace of mind, as well as valuable time not wasted in returning for exchange/refund, etc. I hope this helps and if it did, please click on the helpful button below!

This is an official Apple product, works great. This is not a cheap knock off version. As described does what its supposed to do.

The truth is legitimate Apple lightning cords last far longer and are far more reliable than any other cord I’ve purchased. And I’ve purchased many non-Apple cords by many different (?) manufacturers of all sorts of lengths. While the overpricing by Apple is (very!) frustrating I just can’t dispute the quality and dependability of their products.

*Made For iPhone/iPad/iPod. Previously, I had bought a 6-foot USB → Lightning cable from Groupon Goods and it was a cheap knock-off. I found myself unplugging and re-plugging the cable because the charge indicator on my phone didn't light up (product not MFi-rated). Frustrating as hell. Furthermore, the cord itself was mostly rigid though bendable, not as supple and flexible like your standard Apple cable. But this product is the bee's knees. To keep it from tangling, I roll the cable about 6 or 7 times and secure it with a twist-tie. When in use I extend the cord and keep it in a spiral for easy gathering. Oh, did I mention it's cheaper than buying it at an Apple Store? I don't even remember what I did with my old cable. Maybe I threw it away. Who cares.

The media could not be loaded. Really good it’s a real apple charger! I was really hopeful that this would not turn out fake! But it’s real and charges really fast! 100% recommended!

I have an iPhone XR. After the most recent update my phone became very snooty, as iPhones typically become after an update, and stopped working with the charging cables I had. I bought some new knock off replacements and they worked fine with the older iPhones in the house, but my XR refused to work with them. At first I thought the charging port might be bad, but before bringing it into the store, I wanted to try it with an official iPhone charging cable to make sure they didn’t blame it on the cable. I was skeptical ordering this one because a lot of the reviews made it out like they might be a knock off. The seller was listed as the Apple Store being shipped by Amazon, so I felt confident in the purchase. It showed up in an Apple box that looks official. It was even sealed with the little pull strip. It is a box like a normal official Apple cord and even had the warranty booklet inside. After unboxing I plugged it into a charger and plugged it into the port and Voila it is working. I will write this off as an Apple update that makes your accessories stop working so you have to buy new ones. I would recommend this cable with confidence to anyone as long as the seller is listed as the Apple Store and it says in the description it is an Apple branded cable.

After reading several reviews, I was worried that I may receive a non-Apple generic cable. I was prepared to send it back if it was not genuine. However, I did receive an Apple product in genuine Apple packaging.

I'm done purchasing cheap knock off cables for my phone or ipad. I'd rather pay a little more for the original quality. Works great!

It's the real deal. Authentic Apple product.
