These cables are absolute rubbish and I've learned the hard way to skimp on charging cables and try and save a few bucks. They claim that they are "Fast Charge Cables" which is completely WRONG information. Half the time the device just recognizes them as "USB Accessories" and doesn't even charge the device. After using these cables for less than a month, my son snapped off the tip of one of them in his iPad. I tried pulling it out myself but had to pay an expensive repair to remove the tip stuck inside. DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY! Too bad I just spent some money and bought it from Apple in the first place. Learn from my mistake and don't buy them! Also, take the time to read reviews. This shady seller used the same post for another item and changed it to charging cables to make people look happier than they really are. Schematic and dishonest at the same time. Revain should ban sellers using this technique.
