NEWS: The cable works for me even with iOS 7 without problems. As written in the comments, but I get with my other 100% original Apple cable and the message "Not certified". The Amazon cable works fine so far, however. So apparently spins iOS 7 rum and automatically detects 100% original accessories as non certified. Renewed plugging and unplugging of the cable has always fixed the problem with me.
IN DETAIL:
==============================
Did you ever older iOS devices in use you will be virtually forced by purchasing an iPhone 5, iPad 4 or iPad Mini to purchase additional adapter and charging cable. They want to finally his new equipment continue to use in various places (ie load / connect) can without dragging always a cable.
Because of the high price of the original cables and adapters Apple I, I looked at an early stage by appropriate alternatives. Unfortunately, copies of other manufacturers are all not very good. If you want to only load his equipment is usually sufficient for an copy, but for the connection of accessories, PCs, etc., it has not been passed. This is probably because that the new port is not just plain old contacts will be redirected to new, but have the plug on its own electronics. The plugs have forwards its own chip of the signals depending on the connected equipment different. This complicated function has not hammer out with me only the original Apple. Until now!
When I discovered the adapter from Amazon, I immediately slammed and was pleasantly surprised: The Amazon cable works for me on all the devices and accessories, and exactly as the original. I could not detect any difference so far.
The cable Amazon differs only in three points from the original:
1st place in an Apple designer packaging it comes in a filthy cardboard, which I personally find super.
2. The cable is black and thus differs optically clear from all the original cables. Fittingly would be a white version. If everything else is perfect you have to fret over trifles just :-)
3. The price is much cheaper than the original Apple.
CONCLUSION:
==============================
Without any limitation to recommend. In the function 100% identical to the original of Apple and also a significantly better price / performance.
I have taken pains to grasp the essential together. If there are questions I answer that as far as possible like in the comments. But of course I'm no support and can report only from my own experience :-)
