The AmazonBasics cable for iPod, iPhone and iPad impresses with its solid build quality than the original. Unlike its Apple counterpart, the Amazon cable is reinforced exactly where it lacks the white Apple cable: The transition between the cable and connector. I've already had two original cable in which the insulation has solved the USB end, so that the wires appeared. The Amazon cable makes me quite more solid impression. It is also much easier to realize through AmazonBasics imprint, in which direction you have to plug in the cable. Eternal 50/50 game at plugging the cable at both ends an end.
