Funny one, but back to the original complaint.....I can buy pretty much any old charge cable for my Samsung S5 and it will work. Apple deliberately made it so that you had to buy an "Apple Certified" (more money for Apple) or a genuine Apple charge cable before it would work. They did this as part of a software upgrade. It just galls me......
I've never paid more than $5 for an Apple-certified lightning cable, and I have about a half dozen of them. Amazon has them on their daily deals a few times a week, and I add them to orders when I don't have enough for free shipping. However, I have plenty now, so I need to find something else to pad orders for free shipping.
