    Lighting Cable for Android

    is it MFi?

      is it MFi?

      No the Lightning part is not.

      Also, the review I read the other day (on AliExpress) stated that both cables the guy purchased failed within two days.

      For a couple of dollars more an MFI cert Blitzwolf cable would be worth it. I think however micro USB cables of all sorts are reasonable, bar charging rates.

        Perhaps, but that is a completely different product. Go and re-read what this deal is for.

        I received my first MFI Blitzwolf the other day and it is very thin and weedy looking. I haven't tested it, but it looks just like a genuine Apple cable, with all the durability problems that go along with that.

        • chyawala on 23/09/2016 - 09:29

          It's a cable for both micro and lightning. Any thoughts on buying just an MFI cert little micro USB to lightning adaptor, then using this with our myriad of much cheaper micro USB cables. That way when cable breaks you simply pop it on another cable.

          Yes, my thoughts are that if you would like to do that then go right ahead.

          As a user of both Android and Apple phones, I welcome a cable like this, since it helps reduce a mess in my car. Who gives a shit of it costs a few cents more than a cable that cannot do the same thing?

          Unsure what your saying. However this being a non MFI cable means it will likely not work with iOS devices prematurely or not at all.

          @tranqme:

          Yeah, I don't hold much hope that these dual ones are any good, but then again we all had high hopes on those original Tickbro MicroUSBs years ago and they ended up being totally shit due to rubbish quality MicroUSB connectors.

          I actually have proper power supplies, electronic loads and test meters to accurately measure the voltage drop at various load currents, and I have just received a special trigger device that should "activate" the Lightning chip.

          If this new gadget works it will mean that I can test Apple cables in a more simple way than needing to use a iPhone in a modified Dock to initiate the charge, then unplugging it to apply the load and test the voltages (hard to explain, you will understand if you know how lightning chips work).

      depends on your charger …. the problem can be voltage drop due to little copper or very long lengths.

          These AICase Certified Apple MFI Lightning Cables were tested by my technician friend.
          I then purchased some. They were delivered within 48 hours to Sydney.
          So far no problems. They are a little thicker than Apple cables.

          The three BlitzWolf cables (Now AU$7.42 each) I purchased took weeks to be delivered, all three have now failed.

          In lots of ten, the AICase cables are under AU$3 each

          The AIcase cables are NOT MFI, despite claiming that they are.

          They are a pretty good clone, but not MFI. They are not listed on the Apple MFI website and the 8 pin connector plug is not the same as a genuine Apple one (which is what MFI means).

          However, they are working OK for me in iOS 9 and 10, and at $4 each or so, who cares if they fail.

          For cheap genuine MFI, buy at Target.

          I thought the same thing when my friend first ordered these cables. So, I looked them up at the time and I found them on the Apple list. I haven't checked again. Could they have been removed?

          the 8 pin connector plug is not the same as a genuine Apple one (which is what MFI means).

          I thought it meant Made for iDevices, and refers to the chip used in these cables.

          Haven't failed so far, but lets see how long they last. Genuine Apple cables tend to last a year of constant use - if lucky. Longer if several cables are used.

          For cheap genuine MFI, buy at Target.

          The Target MFi cables I purchased (the twin head ones) were not on the Apple list at the time of purchase, and failed in 3 to 6 months.

          OK, thanks - very interesting. I searched some time ago and could not find them.

          I wonder if these Chinese companies might get MFI status for one model, then divert their primary production to a less expensive alternative?

          I say that because my understanding is that the Apple MFI chips cost about $4 or $5 each including royalties, so it would be impossible to manufacture a proper MFI cable then retail it at the orices we see on Ozbargain.

  • RubenM on 23/09/2016 - 08:37

    I'm not an Apple person, but I thought their lightning plug was a male plug that required pins on the outside? The picture doesn't show any pins.

    • llama on 23/09/2016 - 23:36

      This truly is not difficult to understand, is it?

      The plug end that goes into the phone is double sided.

      There is an MicroUSB connector on one side and an Apple Lightning connector on the other side.

      So, when you plug it into an Apple device, you insert the plug with the word "iOS" facing upwards. The lighting pins face downwards and connect to the phone.

      When you plug it into an Android device, you rotate the plug 180 degrees, so that the word "iOS" is no longer visible. In this position the Lightning connection pins and the word "Android" are visible uppermost.

      • RubenM on 24/09/2016 - 11:59

        I got that. But I think it must just be a computer rendering then that they're not showing the external pins on, which I think is a bit weird.
        I actually think it's a shame that there isn't a cable like that for micro USB and USB c.

  • debo on 23/09/2016 - 14:30

    the 2 in 1 cable graphics do not show too much - i am expecting to see USB one end then two 'tails' - one to a lightning and one to a USB-C - is that what this is??

      i am expecting to see USB one end then two 'tails' - one to a lightning and one to a USB-C - is that what this is??

      No, and the graphics don't show that nor does the description say that either.

      It is a double sided plug, with iOS connector on one side and MicroUSB on the opther.

      They use 2 images like that because for some reason it's difficult for people to grasp that the plug is different on one side compared to the other.

      I am sure you can understand that it is impossible to have a photo that shows both the front and the back at the same time?
