Question: The problem with all ipad cables whether Apple or amazon etc is that after three months (+\-) the cord breaks at the joint. Is this cord more durable?
Document: I've had no problem syncing or charging with this cord. It seems slightly sturdier than the apple brand cord. I've had it a few weeks now and will update as to its longevity. I also like that it is slightly different than our apple cords because my husband and I are always &#34;claiming&#34; each other's iPhone/iPad cords. This one is clearly mine.
This cable has USB on one end and Lightning on the other end. It's about the same length as the Apple cable that came with my iPad Mini but it's a little more durable. The standard Apple cables never seem to hold up very well. This cable is not only well made but very affordable as well and it would be a good choice when a replacement is needed.
I bought two of these cords to try them out and out of the box you can tell the difference in the construction and material quality compared to other 3rd party cables. The cables feel sturdier than the amazon basics cables as well as the apple lightning cables. Cables have worked well with Iphone 5 / Iphone 5S / Ipad Air / Ipad Mini without incident..
Order this cable as a back up for my iPad mini. I did not give 5 stars just because I plugged into a Duracell wall charger adapter and it didn't work. iPad Mini didn't even recognize it. I had an extra Apple adapter and it worked fine with it. iPad mini started charging. As a back up charger cord I am pretty happy with my purchase. I will definitely purchase again since it works and cheaper than the Apple cables.
This cable does look durable enough that there shouldn't be any problems with it.I did a short test of all three cables to see if any of them charged significantly faster or slower. I plugged in each cable to the same USB charger and timed how long it took to get to 7% charge increase. I did the test when my phone was streaming music at a 50% charge.
As for the Amazon private label brand? It loses on every point and comes in dead last.This review is based on the OEM cable that was packed with my iPad compared to cables provided for testing by Amazon and Anker. The opinions expressed are my own.
Just arrived today, amazing price for this certified accessory. Came nicely packaged and easy to open. Looks and feels like an apple cable but slightly more durable. This cord is the same diameter as apples which allows me to use my bed hook for it, but unlike the apple cord it feels more rigid so I don't think it will break internally like the apple one it replaces. This is an excellent value!
Solid, well made product. Worked first time. Great packaging with insert asking &#34;Happy&#34; or &#34;Not Happy&#34; with three ways to contact them. I have an Anker laptop battery and this cable looks every bit as solid. My only complaint is the cord is shorter than the Apple OEM cord. Anker calls this a 36&#34; cord but that is measured from tip to tip.
It is at the ends that each has charted its own course and where the biggest differences lie.While the Lightning and USB connectors themselves are identical, of course, which they have to be for compatibility, the molded caps are by far the biggest difference between the three brands. The Amazon caps are massive in comparison, certain to create major issues when attempting to use that cable with certain cases or receptacle connectors that are recessed.
All three cables charged at a rate of 3% in about 3+ minutes with the Anker cable being slightly faster. It took the Anker cable 7 minutes and 10 seconds to charge 7% while it took the Monoprice cable 7 minutes and 30 seconds. The Apple cable took 7 minutes and 26 seconds to charge the battery 7%. If you calculate the 15 seconds difference, it amounts to 3 and a half minutes faster for a 100% charge.
Answer: Listen all use the springs from 2 click type ball point pens, take the springs screw them in such away as they wrap around the wire in front of the usb and the pin plug. A dab of super glue at the top of the spring  ends and they wont unwind them selves and I guarantee the wire will never break there again but it will not protect the rest of the cord from my cat LOL she likes my iPhone wire to chew on
