The Mophie USB charging cable with Lightning connector did not fit well into the Lightning connector on the iPad 7th gen. I did it, but with difficulty. And from that moment on, the iPad actually stopped charging (it now takes an hour to charge to 3%), even with other cables that used to work. To ensure I was getting a genuine Mophie cable I bought it from the same place that makes the iPad. I have carefully checked whether it is compatible with my iPad (7th generation).
