The Chinese version of the original Lightning cable will not replace!

The desire to save our brother can result in not the most pleasant consequences, because the mean, as you know, pays twice. This largely concerns the acquisition of accessories and headsets for iGadzhetov, in particular, the new cable Lightning. It is designed for use with devices such as iPhone 5, The latest generations of iPod nano and iPod touch, as well as iPad mini and iPad 4.

The difference in the price of the original Lightning cable from Apple and its Chinese copy large. While the original cost users $ 20, forgery can be ordered online for only $ 3.5. Exactly the same is the cost of "native» Lightning, and so on up the cost of Chinese craftsmen and do not want to think.

Those who believe that it is possible to save a lot on this accessory, and that Apple already does not know limit such draconian prices, should think twice before turning to the Chinese for help. It turns out that the production technology of Chinese copies of Lightning is not just poor. It is the revelation of flaws that are only detected when in use, although the type of cable Made in China like and not different from the original.

So, an employee Toxic Cables Frank Dong (Frank Donghi) for research purposes has acquired a Chinese version of Lightning. During synchronization with your computer and charge the problems he did not seem to notice. But when it came to connecting to iGadzhetov stereo broadcast sound it was far from perfect. When playing music clearly heard the noise and interference.

Having examined the Chinese product, Mr. Dong discovered in it a complete lack of shield plates around the Lightning connector and chips. Moreover, after reassembly cable "Chinese" continued to work in the same way as before autopsy. Although Frank Dong pointed out that the very quality of assembly accessories and its parts is terrible, hence its low price.

Last week it became known that the Chinese are actively working copies of the Lightning, and they even have 10 different variants (with different assembly schemes). Chinese manufacturers are hoping to cash in on the greed of the users who are willing to save at the expense of the quality of the acquired accessory. At the same time, Apple is already scheduled for early November, the Conference «Made for iPhone». Within its framework, it decided to discuss the conditions of production Lightning cable from third parties.
