buying a knockoff cable to save $7 on an accessory for your $200-$400 new phone? Some of you kids don't deserve nice things...
Well actually it's £6 vs £25 here....

Thanks for the heads up!
Is this the same with the 30pin to Lightning adapters? If yes I will cancel my order on ebay

Very bizarre considering there are no aftermarket cables or adapters being shipped to anyone that I know of, put me right if I'm wrong ? I can't believe any seller is going to send you a cable or adapter that will bun out your iPhone 5.

They are actually $19 in the US so the original poster is saving $7. Wouldn't pay $12 for a knock off cable, not enough saving. I've purchased 2 adapters for £6 each so is well worth the saving! There's nothing wrong with trying to save some money instead of burning your cash buying these from apple.
Yes!
At this moment and time if its not from apple don't buy it. They will know you've used a dodgy cable if you go in with a burnt port.
Have you received them?

I can't believe people aren't angrier about this. Apple is basically doing a money grab from us early adopters.
I already ordered this one. It looks like an Apple Charging Cable, right?
still looks like a 3rd party cable with the stock apple pic as reference.
I wonder if it would be better to just buy the adapter and then 3rd party 30 pin connectors.
What about the USB chargers that go into a cigarette lighter? Someone mentioned those in another thread. Are they safe?
Why would you call someone a kid? Seems disrespectful to put down people who aren't hurting anyone and simply trying to save money (even if they made a mistake).
I thought officially licensed accessories say "Made for iPhone" on the packaging. I would imagine to get this accessories have to have the correct chip.
USB charges are safe as long as you use the official Apple cable with them.
IE, no charger that has a cigarette plug on one end and a lightning plug on the other. Only use the ones that are a cigarette plug with a USB socket on it.
I wouldn't go as far as kids there are some penny pinching adults out there too. If you got 300-900 bucks for a iphone 5. If uou have 100 dollars a month for a cell phone bill. You got 20 bucks for a cable. Period.

OR the company's supplying the third party accessories are getting it wrong? Which one is right?
