Is there a difference between the Lightning to USB included with an iPhone 5 and the one sold separately?
I recently purchased 2 iPhone 5's and two Lightning to USB cables in addition to the ones that came with the phones. We tried to use the first L to USB with the power adapter and it wouldn't work. Then today I tried to use the second L to USB in my macbook pro and it came up with the USB too much power error, so I tried to use it with the power adapter and it wouldn't charge. So I got the L to USB that came in the phone box and it works with my laptop and the power adapter? It just seems weird that 2 out of 2 cables wouldn't work.
