Apple leads have id chips in, that's how it knows it ain't an Apple lead. £1.50 should tell you it's not going to be an Apple-certified lead.
Some places state specificly they sell such certified leads, so get one of those. YOu have the resolution centre to get your money back if it proves not to be.

By that, I mean, the plastic on the actual cable, near the end that you plug into the phone, cracked open, allowing the inside to be visible. SO, I got a replacement off eBay, which, cost me £1.50, however, over 20000 were sold. The cable arrived today, and, looking at it instantly told me that it wasn't a valid apple certified cable. But, no problems, or so I thought, it charged beautifully, until.... Thought I'd plug it to iTunes, and show a friend something. That's when reality hit me. At first, silence. Second, iTunes gave an error. Then, said an iPhone was detected, but it could not connect, (or whatever it says) please disconnect this iPhone, and try again. Did this about 5 times, switching between 3 USB ports of this laptop, for which, I have used the old cable to restore phone with. So, here's the question, is it possible that it is the cable, or would it worth trying again? PS. Its windows 10, on which, I have installed the update yesterday, and iTunes is detecting an update, but couldn't bother figuring out Microsoft edge, so that I could download it, hence the question.
