Did anyone of you guys buy any fake cables?

I think that quality depends on the price first of all. So if you are ready to spend good amount for good cable you will have that.
Have you ever tried to check that in local store or make your choice based on the reviews?

 

have you tried Amazon basic cables?

 

Every fake cable i buy lasts 3 months or less. Any apps charger i buy lasts a year or less.It better to buy 2 apple chargers a year then 4 off brand chargers for a year.

 

how many chargers are you going through? lol

 

Best Buy Insignia brand cables have a 1 year guarantee and come in various lengths and have served me well. I bought 4 and exchanged one that was pulled my son when using his ipad - Quick transaction and better than going to an Apple Store and having a genius replaced the original after speaking to the greeter, then moving to the back of the store to wait again and then the cable being verified and spot checked.

 

sorry I should say, WHY are you going through this many...

 

I've found that my Anker lightning cables (bought on Amazon) have lasted longer than my OEM Apple ones, surprisingly.

 

Had to do it once, for my old iphone 4. Couldn't find the original one. It's OK for charging, but iTunes doesn't like it

 

They break. Only work when bent a certain way and such.

 

Right ok… never known that before

 

Sounds like the cables you received were fake, get some tips before purchasing next time, here are some tips mainly focus on visiual differences between oem and fake cables, hope it helps.
