Aibocn MFi Certified 30 Pin Sync and Charge Dock Cable for iPhone 4 4S / iPad 1 2 3 / iPod Nano/iPod Touch - White

Worked great

I’ve gone through countless cellphones since Steve Jobs changed the game—most of them lost, stolen, or taken out by life. Yet somehow, my little iPhone 4S has survived it all. Only half the screen works, but she’s still a keeper because she’s the last model that stores your full iTunes library on the device. A relic, yes—but a glorious one. I stopped using it years ago after my original charger died. I assumed 30‑pin chargers had gone extinct, but on a whim I checked Amazon a few months back and—lo and behold—they’re still out here thriving. I ordered one, and to my delight it works perfectly. Now I have access again to my early‑aughts music library: over 1,200 songs, including obscure remixes, forgotten bops, and all the gems I curated back when Limewire, Napster, and Kazaa were the Wild West of music “acquisition.” Those were the days. If you’ve got an old‑school device that still powers on and you need a 30‑pin charger, this one actually does the job.

Items were excellent quality, reasonably priced and shipped quickly.

I had an iPad3 which I was giving to my niece and wanted to find a cheaper replacement cable to the original Apple 30-pin USB which had frayed at the 30-pin connection point and was beginning to drop charges/data syncs. After reading the varying satisfaction reviews between the OPSO and Amazon Basic 30-pin USB cables I ended up ordering both. I figured if one didn't work I could give her the other, and if both worked then she would have a spare. Both arrived the same day and I tried them out with different results using the original plug from Apple and a GE 3+2 2..1-A rapid charger. The OPSO cable is minimally thicker than the original Apple cable, most noticeably at the 30-pin and USB connection joints. The attached Velcro tie that comes with it makes managing cables much easier. Definitely a plus, but not the main reason to purchase it. The length is about the same. So far, so good. Compared to the Amazon Basic cable, which is about the same width but has much longer, and thicker, "reinforcement " around the 30-pin connection point (but it's about the same size as the OPSO at the USB end). Since this is where the original cable frayed, I was glad for the extra thickness. Next I decided to fully charge the tablet from about the 50% level. I noticed immediately that the OPSO was a little more difficult to insert into the 30-pin opening, but not difficult enough for it to feel like I was forcing it into the opening. The Amazon Basic cable went in much easier but also has a larger "head" than the OPSO (making it easier to grasp). Each time I had the tablet in its case (an Otterbox Defender), which due to its thickness and opening covers might be part of my problem, but still the larger Amazon Basic "head" worked best under these conditions. Now I was ready to "test" making a complete charge using the original plug from Apple. I used the OPSO cable first. Immediately there were no problems but about halfway through I received a message that "the accessory was not compatible". Ignoring this, I unplugged it, and tried again. The message kept popping up, but I continued to ignore it until finally I wasn't receiving any charge display and the tablet battery was at 76%. So I connected it to the rapid charger and I was able to complete a full charge (100%) without any further issues in under 2 hours. After a day of running down the battery again, I proceeded to charge it using the Amazon Basic cable. As I previously stated, it was easier to insert, and I was able to get a full charge using the original plug connection without issue. It also worked using the rapid charger a couple of days later. No messages popped up and no problems with any data syncing. Overall I am satisfied with both cables and feel relieved I can give my tablet away with two working 30-pin cables. My only recommendation would be a preference to using a rapid charger or better 2.1+ wall charger as the plug/wall connection since they appear to be more consistent than the older originals (but that's a matter of personal choice). I also have the Belkin 2.1 USB wall charger and a PowerGen 3.1/15 watt charger I use with my iPad Air. The OPSO and the Amazon Basic both performed well for the short term. Since some people stated they had problems later with their cables, I will try to update this in a few months if I receive any reports of problems, but for now, this cable did the job.

I needed a replacement for my old ipod charger. My original would sync and charge from my PC fine, but didn't want to sit properly in any of my car USB/adapter slots. I looked at almost every cable on Amazon. Most said "doesn't work with car." I took a chance and plugged this one into my 2014 Subaru and it immediately detected the ipod and allowed me to control it with the buttons on the steering wheel. I don't know about other cars, but it worked for me.

Hook up my old iPod and use a 3rd party app to connect and retrieved some old songs I had lost. Also worked well for charging my iPod.

Works perfect whit old iPhone and base charges like it’s the original one good money spent to recover old memory’s

Good product
