Broken iPhone 5 charger cable

My iPhone 5 charger isn't working, from what I've read I can take it to the apple store and get it replaced, what do I need to take with me i.e packaging/paperwork? And is it true they will pretty much change it on the spot?

Tap Settings > General > About then scroll for it. It's also engraved on the back of the device. If you received a receipt from Apple via email or in the packaging, then it may be there also.

  • Is my iPhone 5 charger cable covered under the AppleCare warranty?

    Is my iPhone 5 charger cable covered under the AppleCare warranty? I need to know because mine no longer works and I don't want to have to pay if I don't need to for a new cable. I have heard that you can but better safe than sorry right.
    Also I know that there are two size cables the regular (0.5 m) and a longer one (1 m). Does anyone know if instead of getting my broken cable of regular size if i could get the longer one. Just wondering.
    Thanks for any help

    everything in the box is under same warrenty
    not just apple products it's the general warrenty law

  • Broken Iphone 5 Charge Port

    One morning I put my phone on charge as normal but it wouldnt recongize the charger and didnt charge at all. I took it to my local phone shop to have a look to see if it was the charger or the phone. He said it was the charge port so next step I phoned apple its under warranty and i sent it away to get sorted.
    I recently got and email saying I could get my phone back broken or pay £180 !!!
    After calling i got told that it was my fault it was broken as a pin inside the charge port was broken !! and iv only had the phone a month.
    can anyone recommend what i can do now ?
    Dont i have some rights under the "Sales of goods act" as its not fit for purpose
    Thanks

    Bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

  • I'm currently on my fourth iPhone 5 charger cable in the past 3 months. Why are they so poorly produced?

    I'm an avid promoter of apple products and always have been but the lighting cables are so poorly made. The wires often perish and I'm sick of having to replace them at my own, high, expense. They are all genuine cables and I'm at a loss as to why such an expensive phone should have such a poorly made data cable. Can someone please give me an insight into why this is continually happening and if Apple have helped anyone else out in this situation.
    Thanks

    I've had two cables perish at the phone plug end. I was surprised too, but I bought some heat shrink large enough to cover the plug and a couple inches of cable and back in business. No probs with connection just the outer insulation perishing. Seems like low quality material. Apple what you doing?

  • Iphone 4s after market charger cables

    Are after market iPhone 4s charger cables safe to use with Apple chargers

    Hi Again,
    Gosh you are quick with responses.
    The item I am looking at is by a provider who sells both Samsung and Iphone bits.
    As the company is local to Australia I reckon they probably import bits from all over depending on price.
    There is a substantial difference as the Apple item is about $20 AUS and the imported bit is only $5 AUS.
    Reading the Community posts, the overall opinion seems to be to stay away from non Apple items.

  • My iPhone 4 glitches when charging and I can't use my apps at all. Would the problem be that it's because my charger cable is broken?

    So today I tried to use social networking apps and games whole charging my phone and I noticed that it glitches when I use my phone while charging. Could thos be because my charger cable is broken?

    Sounds like your phone was previously jailbroken.

  • IPhone will charge but not be recognised by iTunes or iPhoto, other iPhones will though with same cable, How can i fix it?

    Suddenly my iphone stopped being recognised by the Mac, ive tried other iphone which work so I know the cable and itunes work but my iphone is simply not picked up.
    I dont know why although in june 2010 I got it slightly wet but it dried out and worked again about 5 days later if thats related?
    I have no idea what to do and my tech specs are:
    Macbook pro 2011 late
    Newest version of Lion OS X
    iTunes at newest version
    iPhone with os 5.0.1

    I had the same issue, my iphone would charge when i plugged it in but the computer would not pick it up, so i read this forum and other ones as well as went through the apple approved methods of trying to fix it and did all of them, then today my iphone charge ran down because i hadn't taken the time to plug it in to charge and it died, then when i plugged it in and it got it's life back and was charging, the computer read it,
    so i recommend letting the charge completely run out until your iphone dies then plug it in.

  • Even genuine iphone 5 usb charging cable does not work for an year?

    I have bought an iphone 5 last year. With it, came the  original apple genuine iphone 5 lightning USB cable. It did not last for half year. I had to buy another original apple iphone 5 similar cable and it was gone within 3 months. I dont understand is it cable manufacturing problem? is apply selling fake cables? It is really annoying and I am really angry that such a reputed company cant give/ provide proper long lasting cables.
    My experience with these two genuine cables was that after some months of  usage, i used to observe even if its plugged it would not charge, or if you push it hard its charging. Firstly, I never keep my phone charging all time. Then how the hack can the charging cable die? or problem arise. I bought the phone and the charging cables when I was germany. I had to buy a 20 euro local companys USB charging cable after above two stopped working with no signs of damage. I have also tried cleaning the charging jack or socket where cable is inserted. It did not help. This local charging cable started to torn out automatically and it got fully damaged, Now I am in India, I bought another cable of 10 euros and it is just two days, it would not charge again.
    I am really furious now whether you use original or local USB cables they dont last for even a week? what the ****?
    Do I need to really pay for those portable charger with a big price tag, that my problem will be solved? very very upset. I never have any complaint with the phone, but the charging catastrophies, really ****** me off. I think of going back to other mobile brands like samsung or nokia where there is never a charging issue or battery drainage issue once you charge its goes for days or it  is also expensive buy a nokia or samsung charger if lose it or break it. but for iphones its really bugging situation and not just me many people around the world are having sick problem with iphone brand with charging ISSUES.
    APPLE PLEASE SORT THE PROBLEM OR SELL the PORTABLE IPHONE CHARGERS (WIRELESS) CHEAPER so that we dont have to use these silly little lightning cables. or I fear my APPLE I PHONE 5 is not genuine or its FAKE.
    PLEASE HELP>

    Look closely at the way you handle the cables. I have never had any cable, Apple or third-party, fail on me.

  • Charger cable no longer works with iPhone 5s

    Hello:
       My white lightning iPhone charger cable used to work to charge my iPhone when I plugged one end into a powered USB and the other end into the iPhone.
    Now, if I am lucky, I will get a message stating that this device is not supported by Apple and may not charge this iPhone.
    Is there any setting, to turn off this bypass, so that my charger cable  can be used to charge my phone?
    Or what is missing from my charger cable which allowed it to charge fine in an earlier version of IOS that no longer work in 8.1.3?
    Thanks in advance

    Clean the squashed fluff and debris out of the phone's charging port with a wooden tooothpick or similar. Be gentle.

  • I've brought a charger cable from tesco for my Iphone 3gs. 3 weeks later it stopped working completely with no notification. I tried with my computer but nothing seemed to happen when I plug my phone in. Help!

    Where should I buy legitimate charger cable? Is my cable third party as I brought it from Tesco?

    If it is an Apple cable it should have come in a white Apple box with an Apple label. If it didn't it is not an Apple cable. You can buy Apple cables at any Apple store or Apple's online store. There are also high quality cables from some of Apple's business partners such as Griffin.
    For a 3GS most cables should work, Apple or not. This is not true for the iPhone 5 and later. So the problem may not be the cable; inspect the connector on the bottom of the phone; if it is full of lint, dirt or moisture try cleaning it. Also look for bent pins.

  • Can you use the same charging cable for both an iPhone and an IPad or are they different?  When I use the charging cable for my iPhone on my Ipad, it doesn't charge.

    Can you use the same charging cable for both an iPhone and an IPad or are they different?  When I use the charging cable for my iPhone on my Ipad, it doesn't charge.

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • Can I leave my charging cable plugged in after disconnecting my iPhone ?

    Can I leave my charging cable plugged in after disconnecting my iPhone ?

    Yes. You can leave the cable plugged into the iPhone, or you can leave the adapter plugged into the outlet. Both are fine. A study a couple you years ago found that the iPhone power adapters do not draw "vampire power" when left in the outlet.

  • Am I the only one that has had every charging cable (for my iPhones and my iPads) fail? Very frustrating. I got used to quality products from Apple but seems the small stuff is being overlooked nowadays.
