Well hopefully my correction will help someone: I apologize if I added to
any confusion; it was with 100% sincerity! I originally posted a simillar
post, and I need to correct something. In all sincerity, I said that my
lightning cable was an Apple one. That's because verizon gave it to us with
our brand-new, "high-end" iPhone. Since it was handed to us WITH the
brand-new phone that was still in its box, my husband and I assumed it was
from Apple. We were WRONG. I think that people who sell iPhone accessories
should have to disclose when they are NOT Apple accessories, or
Apple-approved.
The rest of our own story is that we went to an Apple store, bought an
APPLE lightning cable a few weeks ago, and have had no problems. We will
never go back to Androids, having been burned six times by those. Apple is
definitely the best. BUT I do think (1) Apple, known as a
consumer-responsive company, should let iPhone users know about this
change. Our cord had worked for 10 months with no problems, until we got
7.1.1. Apple should be educating us about these things. (2) Stores who sell
iPhone accessories should be required to disclose when they are not
Apple-supported, especially now that they won't work otherwise. I guess
until someone does something about this, it's up to us to get the word out
to family and friends. Hope my experience will benefit someone.
If you can't feed a hundred people, then just feed one.
