Iphone 5 charger

LiamC · 16 Oct 2013 at 10:04

I've went through 3 chargers recently for my Iphone, every single one keeps going faulty at the connection where it plugs into the phone.

Anyone purchased a charger that seems well made?

You mean the lightning connector is faulty? Tried a different cable?

It's a very common problem even with the official Apple cables, I've been through 5 now for the iPad, I just tend to buy cheap knockoffs now from Ebay for a quid each and keep a stock of them.

I found the cheap cables was pretty crap but haven't had any problems with the apple ones.

Have two cables, one from an Ipad 4 and one from an iphone 5, no problems with either.

I bought myself a braided lightning cable, much better quality.

Hmm, not had any problems with mine. Depends if you unplug it by pulling on the cable or the connector I guess...

Problem with the cheapo 3rd party cables is that they don't seem to be supported on iOS7 now.

Not had a problem with the one I got for my ipad, which I use for my iphone too.. Thou I'm still using the OG cable I got from my iPod nano when they first came out.

I've braided the two cables together myself using some cable tidy from maplins.. And they have taken a battering.

There was a good looking "Juices+" braided cable on Kickstarter. Not sure if it's on general sale.
