I didn't know it was expecting. Congratulations!

Details:

A perfect alternative to those ridiculously expensive Lightning cables
Must have for charging your latest iDevices featuring the Lightning port
Bidirectional insertion support -- plug in with any side facing up just like other Lightning cables
Power status LED (green) inside the lightning side connector
Allows charging, media transfer protocol MTP, iTunes sync, and probably everything else


Probably everything else? I'm not going to trust my $600 device to a cheap knockoff cable that will "probably" not fry it.

That's only the USB charging cable. The expensive one that everybody's complaining about is the Lightning to 30 pin dock cable which is expensive because it contains microprocessors.

I still don't understand how a mere cable can lighten something but at $9 it sounds good.

Where did you see that? I couldn't find it on the site.

It's just a data/charging cable. I don't know that it might fry an iDevice, but I'll willing to wait until it's in the wild. It's knockoff power supplies that I'd be leery of.

It's an 8-pin cable and the Lightning port is 9-pin, right? So the video out stuff will have to wait until third-parties knock those off.

They removed that text from their site. It was there earlier. I just took the entire details chunk and pasted it in. Apparently they decided it was a bad idea to have those words on their site. Now the product hasn't changed...

I hope they have it right.

Apple is being a PITA over cables and connecting products by adding these security chips just to connect to the products YOU own.
