According to Moca.co, the manufacturing partner has sent samples of the Lightning cable with reversible USB connector to Apple for approval, but Apple has yet to move forward with manufacturing orders.

Neither am I. I bought a few third-party MFi cables to supplement the lower-quality cables that Apple has been supplying recently, so I don't see myself spending money on new cables from Apple anytime soon.Who gives a sh|t! It's a cable. So now, just like health apps and health earbuds, we are going to have 1000 USB cables to choose from? I'll wait until Apple decides to change. I'm of high enough IQ that I can easily insert my USB cable into my MBP. If and when Apple adds the reversible cable with its products, I'll use it. Not going out and spending even $1 on a cable I don't need.
I never understood why the ****** USB standardisation organisation didn't design the plugs reversible in the first place.
Moca.co is planning to offer its own versions of the cable and adapter from its MFi-licensed manufacturing partners, and is currently taking pre-orders with plans of October delivery if it can obtain a sufficient number of pre-orders to initiate production.
Does anybody else think it's stupid to not have the USB symbol on both sides of the USB end of the cable? I already have a bunch of regular lightning cables. With this cable as-is, I'd have to check the inside of the connector to see if it's reversible just to be sure. In that time, I might as well just put it in, USB symbol up.
I would think they would just put nothing on both sides like the lightning end, but just having it on one side is defiantly the worst thing to do.
73% of focus group participants found the combination of Thunderbolt and Lightning to be very, very, frightening.
What's annoying is that USB connectors could have been reversible right from the start, had someone thought of it. But no one did. And they weren't. All these years.
Only 2 watts shy of being able to also replace the larger iPad/iPad air chargers. Oh well, we can't have it all.
When will there be a Thunderbolt to Lighting cable?
Again... Pushed to 2015.
Seems to me that the reversible usb would need ports designed for it so until such a port is standard on computers its unlikely. Unless they are going to release some kind of adapter, which seems silly.

Unless they are going to release some kind of adapter, which seems silly. At the least they would want to release computers with the correct port so why release this update of the retina mbp so recently.
I'm still confused how they're managing to swap the pinout of the USB cable when the orientation is changed without using a chip.

I would like to see a multi port charger actually made by Apple. So I can charge my iPad and my iPhone at the same time from the one charger. All the cheap Asian ones have horrible bright blue or green LED's the light up the room at night, apart from being dangerous because they are not made to electrical safety standards (at least in Australia), the lights keep me awake

What we wonder is why Apple-made sync cables are breaking all the time and third-party MFi cables are not.All I saw in that video was the guy pulling the usb connector out by the cord!
And people wonder why their Apple made sync cables are breaking all the time. QUIT pulling them out by the cord! Actually this goes for any cord or any kind!
