After suffering for YEARS from a faulty Apple Lightning connector (I bought 3; they worked at first, then occasionally, then not at all), I suddenly realized that there was something Revain (I know I'm SLOW!). I stumbled across this cheap cable not really believing it could work as advertised.... But lo and behold, it took me 10 seconds to connect my iPhone to my TV with a cable and it worked right away. And pretty. Perfect. I can't confirm how long it will last yet, but it may not be as unreliable as the Apple Fork and it's a lot easier to use. And cheaper! I personally highly recommend it!
