There was a time when one cable could do everything. That time is the past. Today each item needs a special little connector that makes someone royalty money. Can you fight it? Sure! But if you want to fight it while making calls on a charged iProduct, you’ll need cables and EarPods like this.
I purchased these a few weeks back from woot. They say Apple but I’m skeptical. My lightning cable that came from Apple is magnetic. The two I received from woot are not. Doesn’t proove these aren’t apple products however it does proove they are different.
These have been on sale many times before (comments below). Works for some people, and others claim they aren’t genuine. I still prefer to pay $4 shipped for fakes off ebay, for the ear buds. I use them every day and they last 6+ months. At ~$16 for the woot ear buds are they really going to last 4 times as long? Not a chance.

THREE OF FOUR OF THESE CABLES WHEN PLUGGED INTO IPHONE OR IPAD CAME UP AS "NOT APPLE CERTIFIED
" and if they work at all, it is intermittant. Woot will do nothing STAY AWAY!!
3 for 19.99 free shipping. Someone recommended these last time they were for sale and I got these and they are DURABLE, very thick and have had no problems with things picking up they aren’t “apple certified”.
It does say these are “MFI Apple Certified” I however do not know the different certification ratings but so far these cables are fantastic.
PURE CRAP! A few weeks ago, I bought what Woot advertised as Apple branded Lightning Cables. The cables all FAILED with in minutes.
When I contacted Woot, they told me that they had no more and that “Your order is covered under a manufacturer’s warranty, please contact them for repair or replacement options”
Now, they are selling more of these cables. DO NOT BUY THEM. Again, they are PURE CRAP!
