It's 2013.
The only question worth asking is:
Can a person easily connect and disconnect this cable in the dark (or if blind?)
If the answer is no, then the cable design is terrible.
- CamperBob2 13y agoWith the iPhone in particular, the problem isn't the cable, which is fine, but with the lack of a decent dock. Lightning connectors aren't much easier to hook up in a dark room than any other connector.
- zdw 13y agoIf you can find the depression of the home button on an iOS device, you know where the Lightning or 30-pin dock connector goes into. I believe this has been the case with every iOS device (but not necessarily every iPod device, some of which had the connector shifted to one side or the other) since the beginning. Hand a blindfolded person an iOS device and Lightning cable end, and they'd likely be able to put the two together fairly quickly if they've ever touched any other iOS device before. It does suck for docks though, as it's not wide enough to balance on like the 30-pin connector was.

One side will be textured with the USB logo, the other will be smooth. The textured side is up. If your cable isn't like this it is out of spec.
