I use Anker cable, both three feet and six feet long cables. They all work very well.

I tend to treat them gently and not had this. But she has found a source of much heavier duty apple-certified cables which she is have great success with. We don't use abnormal lengths, those could be an issue in their own right. My occasional criticism, is that the foreigners tend to have short plug stems, or bulky packing too close to the end to allow them to be used through hd protective cases.

I only use Apple MFi certified lightning cables so those are the ones I'm curious about others' experience with. Here's my story with lightning cables and my iPhone 6. When I purchased my iPhone 6 last February, it would give me an error message about an unsupported product whenever I plugged its 3-foot Apple cable into my USB extension cable connected to my computer in order to charge it. I never got such an error message when charging my iPhone 5 in the same manner. I decided to purchase a 10-foot lightning cable to use with my iPhone 6 since I needed the length as my mid-tower computer sits on the floor. Apple does not sell a lightning cable of this length and even their 6-foot cable is expensive so I decided to get an Apple MFi certified one from Amazon. I found one for about $13 and have never gotten an error message while charging with it. However, starting a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that the lightning connector on this cable does not stay plugged in solidly to my iPhone 6 any longer. It's almost as if it's become malleable and can't maintain a good connection even though I plug it in securely. I put a lot of faith in Anker external batteries and cables so I purchased a 9-foot Anker lightning cable from Amazon but I'm also getting this connection problem with that one as well. I'm curious if anyone else is experiencing this sort of issue with any of their lightning cables and whether it's specific to particular iDevices or cables. I really don't want to hear from those who are going to say 'only use Apple cables" because they don't offer a length I need at a price I believe is reasonable. Thanks for any experience you can share with your non-Apple cables. Alan Lemly -- The following information is important for all members of the VIPhone list.
