If we were to name one negative point about Apple and its products, I think the vast majority of people would say that prices are a bit higher than we would like. The surcharge is present both in your devices and in the accessories for them. But it seems that Amazon arrives for offer us a more economical possibility in one of the most important accessories for the iPhone: the cable lightning.
The charging cables that the Cupertino ones provide us have two characteristics that do not get along well with each other. The first is the design, which is very fine and has a special touch. The second characteristic is that, if we are not careful and bend it near the connectors, the cable will eventually peel, completely destroying his image.
On the other hand, Apple's normal official Lightning is 1 meters, which is insufficient in some situations and can be frustrating. However the Lightning that Amazon offers us is two meters, which gives us much more freedom and peace of mind, I tell you that I have an official 2m Lightning and I have not had a single space problem with this cable.
As if that were not enough, Amazon has achieved the MFi certification (Made for iPhone - Made for iPhone), which means that the cable will work perfectly and without surprises, since Apple has given them the go-ahead for the manufacture of it.
Regarding the price, the version that Amazon offers us costs € 12.98 including shipping. A much lower price than € 35.05 of the official Lightning (if we add shipping) of the same size. It's even priced at about half that of the 1m version.
I would like to update this post by adding the impressions of some users who have bought the lightning from Amazon. There are users who have complained that quality leaves much to be desired and that all that glitters is not gold. In the end, the option that Amazon offers us is what I like to call "a bet": we can bet and win or we can bet and lose what we bet. Personally I have not been able to verify it, it must be said, and I have to trust users who claim that problems may appear. That is why I do not want to talk about this cable as if it were a great choice.
To buy - Amazon MFi Cable
I do not know how you will do it so that the cable does not break because they are made with a plastic that degrades with heat. You only have to compare it with the 30 foot cables of the first ipods that I still use when the original cables of the iPhone 4 have been broken for a long time ... The moral they break faster and you have to buy another; Richest Apple ...
I've had it for a long time and it already failed me! It is good, but not so much!
Is it the frame?… +
Yes
Thanks for your comment. I have read more complaints and I have updated the entry (crossing out the one that would not give problems and adding / changing the reflection paragraph)
Pioneer cable is so much better
Yes, like the cable breaks in pure stick!
I think that a two meter lightning cable is better because it gives more freedom to synchronize your iPhone !!!
Hello, can you inform me if you can buy from MEXICO.
Amazon cables suck. They break before Apple's, which are already bad.
the amazonda cable good result and apart it is cheaper
I have the black of 2 meters for 6 months and everything is perfect
Here is a certified cable with excellent qualities I bought it 1 year ago and like the first day and for less than the Amazon cable, a greeting.

I've had it for a long time, 2 meter black. It goes perfect.
The best and the cheapest without a doubt http://www.amazon.es/gp/aw/d/B00MVGL370/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1430697271&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=cable+lightning&dpPl=1&dpID=313dhFOpbFL&ref=plSrch
Amazon launches ?? This cable is in amazon you don't even know, don't sell us the bike, just say you just found out that amazon sells the cable ...
PS let's see if you can put some of the iwhach that you hardly put anything
I have put some pen springs screwed on the ends and the truth is that it is going great, I have this cable since the iPhone 5 came out and I continue to use it with the 6 and I have saved this one again. You can search photos in google
Partner, you should change the title of the news since this cable has been out for a long time. I bought it when I was living in the USA more than a year ago. It cost me $ 14,99 at the time, although from what I see now they have it at a price of $ 9,79, as the Yankees always think that in Europe we are rich. I am delighted with the cable, it has never failed me and I use it for both the iPhone and the iPad, the only downside I can put is that every two by three it disconnects when I am charging it due to the case (they should do the connector a tad longer), but I suppose it is something that will also happen with the official, otherwise "zero" problems.
I bought a more expensive BOSE and it broke after a month and very badly. And that it had 5 stars on Amazon. Three months ago I took a couple of cables from Amazon and great, a lot of tute and they still work like the first day. They look well finished and strong.
In case my experience serves someone.
I can't quite understand what the hell you are doing with the cables… I have all the cables (30-pin, lightning) from the ipod 4 or 5, all the iPhones and none have broken. But come on, not a hint that it's going to break or fail. I still think that people treat things today as if they were gadgets from 30 years ago.
Well, I still use my 30pins cable from the ipod video that I bought back at the dawn of humanity both with said ipod and with my iphone 4s and it still works perfectly and in the same condition as when I bought it ...
I do not know what use the others will have given theirs but with the cable I have not been very careful to say: rolled, fallen, left on the dashboard of the car during the summer in full sun ... and it remains the same (somewhat discolored and with scratches but perfect)
From my experience, I don't risk it if the same cable has lasted more than 8 years… although I do not deny that I will be able to test it in the future.
