Lightning USB Cable in Store?

[aphexacid]

Apple store had no accessories on launch. I really need a lightning adapter.

Definitely, but give it a few weeks. Monoprice is my store of choice for my iPhone accessories, cheap prices and fantastic quality!

Great, yeah, no rush. I love Monoprice for everything. I'd much rather buy from them than take my chances with someone on Ebay/Amazon.

Today i picked a couple up and they had hundreds at the Crabtree store in Raleigh, but none in the Southpoint store in Durham.

Picked one up at MacArthur Center in Norfolk, VA today. They had plenty on the shelf. Also have one arriving tomorrow that I ordered on line late Thursday evening. Apple.com stated 2-3 weeks, but it started moving that night, and is at Fedex Facility here in Norfolk (as of Sat morning).

I ordered the USB to lightning cable on Saturday from the Apple store and just received an email that they are being shipped from China via FedEx. The adapter is still back ordered.

The apple store in STL had plenty of USB to Lightning cables in stock. I picked one up this past Saturday. No other accessories of course, but at least I have an extra cable now.

Carry your one and only adapter until eBay sellers start shipping. The adapters from Apple are way to expensive...eBay them, adapters are adapters.

I'm apprehensive to even try that until we know these adapters work perfectly. No one seems to have an adapter thus far even from Ebay, with any feedback.

Jacksonville, FL | Apple Store

I just left the Apple Store here in Jacksonville, FL (approx. 10:15 am) and they have plenty of Lightning to USB cables, where I purchased two.

I would say on the shelf, they have about 75+, but no adapters.

For those of you that bought extra cables... how long are they?

Are they at least longer than the ones that came with the iPhone 5? The cable included is quite short imo...

 

[leenak]

I ordered 2 lightning to usb cables online on Friday. They showed up today so the 2-3 week wait online? I think it is a bit erroneous.

 

[Rivanov]

Apple Store Oberhausen has the Lightning to USB cable in stock.
Also the Micro-USB to Lightning adapters..

The extra cables are the exact same length as included with the iPhone 5.

Apple store in Pasadena , CA has tons of them. I was there Saturday and Sunday. Saturday I picked up two extra cables, everyone was buying extras, but they kept filling the shelf.

Sunday I went back to pick up my Macbook after a battery swap and again I saw many on the shelves.

So Pasadena store has them, go quick!

Apple Store in Valley Fair mall (Santa Clara, CA) had about a dozen in stock. FYI, if your company has an EPP (Employee Purchase Plan) agreement with Apple, show them your employee ID to get a discount (usually 8%, which will offset CA sales tax).

 

[bluesxtreme]

Oakbrook, IL store and throughout Chicagoland have them. Just picked up 2 though they said they are quickly running out. I ordered online using pick up in store to avoid any shipping cost.

adapters are adapters.

Most likely these 1st gen 3rd party cables and adapters will allow only you to charge.

Yup, exactly what I was referencing up above!

Sneaky sneaky of Apple to do this ...

 

[Max Archer]

Roseville, CA, had a couple dozen when I was there on Saturday. Only bought one. Didn't see any adapters though.

arrived today

I ordered these on the 15th and they arrived today. Apple site said they wouldn't deliver for another 2 weeks (Oct 9-15 estimate).

Just out of curiosity, why do you need 6 cables?

 

[Juicy D. Links]

you can check stock status on the Apple Store APP

Just out of curiosity, why do you need 6 cables?

I actually wanted to get a 6th one on this order, but they would only allow 5 in an order.

1 - travel bag
2 - kitchen nook, where I leave my keys and wallet and plug in my phone at night
3 - living room end table next to my chair and lamp (morning and evening)
4 - home office
5 & 6 - vehicles
7 - office

It just kind of mushroomed as I have purchased iPods/Pads over the years. As I ended up with extra chargers and cables, I found it was so much more convenient to have them wherever I sit down instead of having to unplug and drag them around the house and vehicles.

I've ordered a couple of the dual USB plug wall chargers so I can leave a 30 pin as well as the Lightning cable for the two places I normally charge my iPad.

Easy way to figure out if Apple has them in stock w/o having to call is:

1-Add cable to cart on apple store website
2-Find where it says "pick up"
3-Click "Select Apple Store"
4-Should list 5 closest stores to where you live

Looks like a couple stores in Dallas area still have cables in stock. Couple say they will be available Oct. 23rd
