Has anyone else had any issues with their lightning connectors? I just bought an iPad 4 two weeks ago, and unfortunately the lightning connector broke off inside the iPad last night. I took it to the Apple Store, and they charged me $300 for a replacement iPad.
It appears that the lightning connector is significantly more flimsy and fragile than the old wide connector. Please be careful!

Are you sure? It's made in a way that the cap can be broken and get stuck inside the port. That cannot happen with a usb for sure.
It was the same Lightning connector that came in the box with my iPad.
I can't be clueless if I have the device.
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MINE AND IT IS ME AND MY HUSBAND. MY GRANDSONS COME SOMETIMES BUT THEY ARE 9 AND 13 AND THEY DO NOT ABUSE IT.
Same exact thing that happend to mine and I know for a fact mine has not been abused and I know how to unplug a cable.
I hope nothing else happens, unless you purchased AppleCare+, because every internal liquid contact indicator has likely now been activated and the iPad mini no longer has an Apple warranty.
I have had my Ipad 4 for only 2 months. The original lighning cable tip broke off inside, absolutely no abuse or force used what so ever. I think it is time for Apple to admit to a poor product!!
I can show you my new Ipad with no abuse or a scratch!! tip of the original lighning cable broken off inside!
Good luck Timoty, I did get my Ipad and my lighning wire replaced by the Apple store, so there is hope!
Miskatonik-Since they deleted your post, would you be so kind to send me the link to where you found a replacement port?
