After upgrading my iPad mini to OS 7.1.2 it no longer recognizes my lightning cable. It is the cable that came with the mini. The cable also is no longer recognized by my iPhone 5S. The cable had worked on both devices prior to yesterday. Any suggestions?
restore iPhone as new ,possibly a software update corruption

Most likely the cable is bad, as it is the one common element.
I Have phone apple and a replacement cable is coming. I think the upgrade was not involved. It turns out neither my iphone 5s or husband's iPhone 5 would recognize the cable either ( I have not yet upgraded the 5s. Since the mini was still under warranty they are replacing the cable for free. I was told there is a chip in the cable that must have been corrupted. This cable has had a very easy life so that amazes me, but go figure. Thank you for responding.
Thank you for responding. Please see longer answer below.
The cable is an "active" device. There are 3 chips in it that offload some of the logic for digital to analog conversion that was done inside the phone in earlier models. Here's a technical analysis: http://www.chipworks.com/en/technical-competitive-analysis/resources/blog/inside -the-apple-lightning-cable/
Apple lighting cable no longer recognized.
