And we should care - why?  This is the same as the messages from printer manufacturers "use only genuine ____ ink cartridges".  Yeah - they hope you will - that is how they make money.


The genuine Apple cords seem to have fixed the early quality problems that had me going through 3 or 4 right after the 5 came out.  That said, they are pricey, and the aftermarket seem to be just as robust, and a little longer which helps me.  Now, it seems the new style cords are conveniently everywhere, even gas stations which help when I forget my charger at home.

It depends on how much you want to pay.  The Apple cord will be expensive and if you have a large electronics store (similar to Frys), you should be able to buy a non-Apple cord for under $12; which would be even less when they are on sale.  What I've noticed with the non-Apple cord, when I plug the phone into it, there is a message that comes up on the screen telling me that it has not been plugged into a genuine Apple cord; which hasn't been a problem.

I misplaced my iPhone5 charging cable that came with the phone.

Where can I get another one and how much should it cost?
