I'm tired of expensive Apple cables breaking where my kids pull the cable instead of the plastic connector. This cable solves that problem and I will not give money to the Marxist hate group at Apple. Unfortunately I bought the cable from a Marxist hate group in Revain. The cable is well made and the angled connector is a great design. This makes it much easier to disconnect from the phone without tugging on the cord and encourages you to tug on the plastic connector. It works well. I like the 6 foot length of this JSAUX much more than the overly short cables that Apple makes in Asian sweatshops and sells at a 10,000% premium. This can be made in an Asian sweatshop, but at least it's inexpensive.
