Apple I-Phone 5 “Lightning to USB Cable” (Charger Cable) Failing Prematurely Under Investigation May 6, 2014

Seeger Weiss is investigating claims for a class action suit against Apple for I-Phone 5 charger cables that fail prematurely. The cables fail only a few months after purchase, and the consumer is left to front the bill for a new cable which costs $20-$40 and is also prone to failure. When Apple launched the much-anticipated I-Phone 5, the company also released a new charger cable, thereby rending the older I-Phone charger cable incompatible with the new I-Phone 5. Since then, consumers have voiced their frustration with the new cable. The Apple charger cable is known as a “Lightning to USB Cable.” The cable plugs into the I-phone 5 and charges the phone through a wall outlet or a USB port on a computer. However, after only a few months of use, many users have reported that the cable stops working and fails to charge the phone. The only solution is to purchase a new cable, which costs $20-$40. Consumers have reported failures of the replacement cables, as well. To make matters worse, Apple has refused to acknowledge a problem with the I-Phone 5’s “Lightning to USB Cable” nor have they issued a recall on the product.

I hate companies that won't answer their phones ! I left a message asking what the status of this potential lawsuit is. ********* ALL of the connector cables for my 2 Iphones, the Ipad air have failed. Near the end of the cable the rubber will develop a crimp and even when not in use, eventually it exposes the wiring and will no longer charge nor will it transmit data and if you get a replacement, those cables either won't work or start displaying the same defects. I took my frayed cable down to the Walnut Creek Apple store last week & the gave me a " new " one and its screwing up too. Example shown below. It is the cable that came with my Ipad purchased in April 2014.
