[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1570425, member: 24160"] I assume by "ISO upgrades", you meant "iOS updates"? That is a possibility. There is a [URL="http://www.chipworks.com/en/technical-competitive-analysis/resources/blog/inside-the-apple-lightning-cable/"]lot of circuitry[/URL] in the lightning cable. If an update makes use of something not formerly used, then a knock-off non-certifed without the appropriate circuitry could stop working. If a chip fails, the cable fails. Can only recommend for this particular cable you buy Apple or Apple certified cables only... You could also try a USB extension cable rather than buying 3rd party 3 meter cables. I'm using several 1 & 2 meter Amazon Basics lightning cables with no issues thus far. They are, however, Apple certified - which means they have the appropriate circuitry. Have to agree with chas related to stowing away and pulling back out any sort of cable - not just the lightning cable. The more they're moved around the more likely they are to fail. Today's high tech cables are not the old RCA cables we knew and loved. [/QUOTE]
