Genius for iPod and iPhone - not for iPad

AmazonBasics USB charge / sync cable for Apple iPod, iPad and iPhone (1.0 m, compatible to iPod 4, iPod nano 6, iPad 3 and iPhone 4S) (Electronics)

Customer Review

I ordered this cable for my iPhone 4 after the original cable slowly got significant breaking points at the transitions between the two plug ends and the cable. Delivery by Amazon was as always packed quickly and well.

+++ +++ The cable
The cable is solid and probably will not break as fast as the Apple cable. It is flexible and not unnecessarily rigid. The iPhone's associated plug looks a little bulky, because the plastic housing of the connector is slightly wider than the actual plugs, which the space was perhaps a little could be troublesome in car mounts or cases, but otherwise caused no problems.

+++ Use with iPhone and iPod +++
Both the charging and data connections run excellently with me, both iPhone and iPod.

+++ +++ Problems with iPad
With the iPad, however, there seem to be problems as recently asked me a friend to lend him the cable, because he had forgotten his and wanted to charge his iPad, which was not working. The iPad was immediately after plugging the cable into a USB socket adapter or a USB port to the computer while it charging, this indicator will disappear after a few seconds, however, and made a "will not load" display space. We have tried several times, and it was clearly on the cable (we were there with another original cable then test). Whether Apple may not recognize non-original cable and not accepted? I have no answer.

+++ +++ Conclusion
The cable is very well made and works very well, despite somewhat chunky iPhone plug-in end iPhone 4 (others not tested) and iPod. The iPad seems to have problems with it.

Better than the original 12 1 Rank: 5/5
