Haha. That series of pics made me just laugh so hard. :p

But, I would prefer a 6' cable. I have 2 aftermarket ones for the 30pin, and they are so handy. Great for nightstand/in bed usage.
 
I love that it is a real chunk of metal instead of some crappy folded sheet metal stock - which is pretty much everything else. Plus, what it replaced was one of the most vulnerable connectors ever...made me cringe to think of pressure being applied to it up and down.

I'd really like it if new Macs came with FEMALE lightning connectors - then you could have a truly awesome charge cable with no USB crap...and using less room.



I never realized this. It's a real hard chunk if metal.

Not some faux pau metal connector that looked cheap.

The dang board inside the iPhones was sketch too.

Ah I love the iPhone 5 and everything about it.

Sure I've bad problems. But it's all love.
 
This thread is strange. It's a cable. It does nothing that the other one didn't do. I guess I just don't really care. I don't make love to it. Or sit and stare and smile at it. Talk to it, stroke it. It's a cord lol

Threads like this is for isheeps only if you haven't figured already....moving on
 
covet..? No.
I like it about the same as my old fashioned 30-pin one. As long as it works, we are on good terms.
 
Ok maybe I'm a little more attached to mine than most but I love exclusivity of it.

They can't easily make knock offs anymore.

Makes me feel like I have a pretty exclusive cable with a special chip and all!

I'm curious why knock offs can't be easily made? Is each cable specific to each individual phone or something? Is there a little chip in there?
 
This is the kind of thread that makes Apple users look slightly messed up in the head to an outside observer...seriously, its a cable.
 
OP, maybe u outta take a pict of the cable and make a t-shirt out of it. Man, walk around in that thing and bring the envy!

The 30 pin connector worked for many years, don't know why you seem so anti 30 pin. The 30 pin connector on my 4S feels like its latched on and tight, probably not the case with the lightning cable.
 
The OP can't actually be serious. Yes I covet mine since its the only ***** one I have, and I have to take it to work with me every day.
 
I have no problem with the new cable. Digital was the way to go and the old cable was way to large for what it did. Any changes freak Apple owners out but they will get used to it. The idea of a 4" phone drove some to insanity and yet now they pick up their old 4S and wonder how they used that "stubby brick". LOL:p!

I say bring us out a iPhone with a wider screen next time, let them freak out!:eek:
 
not really, I'm just a little more careful with it because $30 these days isn't easy to come by near instantly. It's cool and all but no cause for coveting it.
 
if apple all of a sudden improves battery life x3 with this new cable then I'll be happy, until now i don't really care.

If you mean that there are over 5 million people using it on their iPhone 5's, iPod touch 5th gen, iPad mini and iPad 4th gen.

Then yes it's very exclusive :rolleyes:
 
Wasteland in 3.....2.....1.....

(but not before someone posts the LOTR pic with the cable photoshopped :p)
