My humble request to Apple MD please make iPhone charging cable 1

My humble request to Apple MD please make iPhone charging cable 1& half to 2 meters long thanks

You are not addressing Apple here. This is a user to user forum. Feedback to Apple goes HERE, and click on the appropriate subject. Check, but I know there are longer cables available from Apple. I have a longer one, just cannot remember the exact length.
EDIT: Here is a link to the store, there is a 2m cable on the first page. http://store.apple.com/us/accessories/all-accessories/cables-docks

My cat likes to lick and chew on iPhone charging cables. What does Apple coat their cables with?

My cat likes to lick and chew on iPhone charging cables. Only Apple cables, she is not attracted to any others in our home. Has anyone else had this happen.
The Kindle and iPhone cables are right next to each other. She only likes the Apple cable leaving the Kindle cable untouched.
What does Apple coat their cables with?
Thanks in advance

I'll go ahead and suggest it. My cat has chewed (and destroyed) the following:
--two sets of my brother's Apple ear buds
--two sets of my boyfriend's Apple ear buds
--three sets of my own Apple ear buds
-- one Macbook power cord ($80+ to replace)
I went into the Apple store Friday to buy a new power cord. I said to the genius helping me, "I didn't even have that cord for a year. Ye know what happened to it?"
Genius said, "Your cat ate it?"
They're aware of the issue!
WTH secret ingredient is Apple using? My story is no different than the others: cat leaves all other cords alone; seeks out and destroys Apple cords.
The only thing I know for sure is that Apple makes money on cord replacements.

Iphone charging cable keeps breaking

The charging cable for my Iphone 5 keeps breaking, I have purchased 3 in the last few months. My phone is plugged in to charge on a small table, the cable is not stretched or pulled in anyway. I have just been on to the apple store to order a new one and have seen the reviews on these cables, they are shocking with everyone complaining about them breaking constantly. These cables are not cheap at £15 a time. I would like to know if apple are actually addressing this serious flaw in their product, if you get a warranty with these cables or if anybody knows of another company that sell knock offs of these that are actually better quality than what apple offer its customers? I am seriously doubting apples customer care regarding the amount of bad reviews on this product.

You are really confused Peter Gillespie.
I replied to you that
"I took mine to the Apple store and they refused to replace it saying I had not been careful keeping it straight when charging whilst it was still under warranty.
The product I have mentioned protects the cable whilst still retaining its flexibility.
Anyway, it has worked for 4 members of my family so far and we have had them over 6 months and one of the chargers in question does have a split and stll works after using the product"
This reply was in response to your comment below:
"If less than 12 months old then it is under warranty ,unless Apple bellieve it is user abuse rather than a manufacuring issue that caused the "failure""
My reply was not, as you incorrectly imply, to your earlier post where you stated:
"The strange thing is that as stated hundreds of millions of users have no issues with the cables
Yet clearly some users do have an issue ,time and time again ......................now what does that tell you ?"
I never replied "strangely", it appears you have a serious misunderstanding of the flow of this thread and it is clear you are making a lame attempt to be the hero.
I simply highlighted a product which has served it purpose and that is all. I am not into lying about who said what to whom because it is very clear to see for those who understand.

Why is the iphone charging cable of such bad quality?

I phone 5 c charging cable is terrible quality, i've replaced it twice in the span of 6 months of buying the phone, they are not even cheap. Why should I as a paying customer be given such atrocious quality of accessories.

The cable is covered by the same warranty as the iPhone

IPhone charging cable not certified?

I always buy my accessories from the Apple store because I'm worried about being scammed with some cheap fake and setting the house on fire or electrocuting myself. Today I tried to charge my phone at work with a cable I haven't used for a while, and I got a message saying that it wasn't certified and might not work properly. Does anyone know whether this is just some little glitch to do with the new operating system? I had to be evacuated from a hotel fire a few years ago, and it's left me a bit over-cautious!

Please ignore - I see other people have had the same issue, and it does seem to be a software thing rather than me having somehow got hold of a fake.

Iphone charger cable coming apart

my cable is wearing away by the iphone connection not the usb end,I can see the metal wire inside. Is there any way I can contact apple for a replacement cable as I think it is a safety hazard thanks

Hi Tony,
You can request repair or replacement of the cable online here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do
You can also make a reservation to have a Genius at a local Apple retail store take a look at it or call AppleCare.

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.

Is it safe to paint nail polish on the adapter part of the iPhone charger?

I wanted to put glitter nail polish on the adapter part of my iphone charger. Is it safe??

There is nothing against it to my personal knowledge BUT I would suggest maybe buying a sparkly iPhone charging cable from an authorized store or the Apple Online Store.
But I've painted the keys on my keyboard before so it's up to you.

I need refund for my iPhone charger

Online?
Thanks

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.

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.

Is it possible to print from iPhone 4 on a non wireless printer via use of the USB data / charging cable

Is it possible to print from iPhone 4 on a non wireless printer via use of the USB data / charging cable.

No

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.
