Replacement cables!

Anonymous — Wed, 28 Mar 2018 10:15:35 GMT

Does anyone know where to get Apple certified lightning cables without paying Apple prices or any other trusted brand for that matter?

I’m finding out these cheap knock offs don’t tend to work as charging & data cables.

Your help is appreciated.. as are links, donations & sugary treats!

I've tried loads of alternatives and these are by far the best

They have good reviews, so good that they are showing as currently unavailable....

For £18.99 they better be good!

Let's hope when stocks are available that they are from the same supplier.

Just say a matter of interest how much are Apple cables?

£19 .. which kinda negates the need for an alternative (three pack in the @MI5 link )

ebay says £18.99 for 1

I paid £5.59 for 2 so not sure where you are getting £18.99 from?

If may be a mute point because it states they don't know when or if the cables will be back in stock. Obviously there is no price showing at the moment.

For £18.99 you might as well buy a cable from Apple anyway but I think paid £5 or £6 for that one in the link

I wasn’t sure if it was going to be genuine,but as the price is around the same as what you quoted I thought I’d give it a bash. Is amazon a more reliable source for genuine goods?

In a word yes @Anonymous. Ebay is ok if you know the seller and they have a good rating. Personally speaking I would never buy anything like chargers or cables from them. Far too many 'genuine lookalike' items Much too risky.

In the same way I would buy a phone from Amazon but never from Ebay
