I didn't think much of this at first I've been experiencing a problem with my after market 3 metre data griffin lightening cables and one belkin cable (incidentally available in apples store on line) I'm now on my forth cable and it's stopped working. I'm very careful with everything encapsulated within my world of apple devices and always stowaway my cables very carefully. So to have lightening strike four times (no pun intended) is very strange!
I decided to do a little research on line and found I was not alone, others had experienced similar problems, some suggest that this all stems from the ISO upgrades which do something more sinister in the back ground?
It gets stranger I found online a picture and article of a strange piece of circuitry encased in the genuine lightening male part of the socket which would seem more than a power and sharing regulating device. An insider within apple has said this is to protect their product from none genuine data cables plus apple only want their cables to be used which obviously is a massive market opportunity and worth millions of extra revenue.
I have spoken to one of apples sales team members and they are completely obvious too these issues surrounding none genuine data cables. Apple are not the only manufacturer to use this sort of security apparently other computer manufactures use clever bits of circuitry to stop none genuine cables being used on their computers.
Unfortunately apple don't do a 3 metre cable however they are more than happy to offer alternatives from other company's from their web site, of which I've now tried all of them.
I'm I barking up the wrong tree can anyone give me a definitive answer?
