iPad ( AIR / Mini Retina ) 3rd party lightning cable that works ??

[devilcm3]

Hi guys, just wondering have anybody succeeded in obtaining 3rd party lightning cable that able to charge & sync data ?

bought a cable but it doesn't work.

( I'd like to spend less than $6 for the cable, because I need to purchase a few instead of one )

try amazon's brand of cables. Use them all the time and haven't had any issues with them.

Amazon, Belkin, Rocketfish, Monoprice. They'll all work as they're all certified, but none of them can be had for your $6 or less budget.

They'll run you $10-25 depending on size you want.

If you want to pay $6 or less, then you bought the wrong tablet.

30-pin 1m cables used to be sold at $0.99 a piece, i don't see the impossible in here.
As i have mentioned, I'm purchasing a few spare cables hence savings are much appreciated here.

Sorry for not mentioning earlier, but i'm not residing in US hence my options are limited.

Will look at the monoprice cables, they seem to be cheap enough

The new lightning cables are much more complex than the old 30 pin style, and include electronic chips. They cost more to manufacture. Apple sells their cable from $19USD. You might be able to find it elsewhere for less, but it may not be "certified" to work with Apple devices (many uncertified third party cables don't work with iOS 7). That's your choice, of course.
