Complain
Charging pin broken
Item burnt when plugged in
its not really suitable to charge or use on an iPhone due to the fact its so short and stiff and the bulky usb-c plugs wont fit my iPhone when in its cover
Quickly broke
Initially a good cable then 5 months later it stopped working
Didnt last
the price is a bit much
Expensive for a cable
Not worth the money at all
Hence no connection
the connection to my device is now a bit loose
making the connection a bit intermittent
These cables do not bend or flex easily - do consider that factor
not very flexible
it's not the most flexible cable
