'It's interesting to see what amounts people are happy paying for things'
I didn't like the price originally but it's to be expected really, from Apple. Another automotive analogy would be taking your car to a main dealer for repairs. I would never do that as the same job costs a third when done by a local mechanic. I understand those who would though as you, at least in theory, get a peace of mind that the right parts were fitted by the right people with a warranty to boot.
God knows what, if any quality control there is on knock off products. I can get a lightning data cable from my local pound shop but I wouldn't feel too confident putting it into my ipad. You can imagine how much shit would that store manager give if I blamed his data cable for fuckin up my air 2.
Of course this is ultimately each and everyone's choice.
Personally speaking, I’ve only ever bought actual Apple connectors for my iPad, even though they’re expensive. They’re not just dumb wires, in most cases, though. When I bought my iPad 2 I had not had any income for a long time because I’d spent the year writing and shooting a video for a talk to perform (nobody came). I decided to blow my money on the highest spec iPad 2, for future proofing. It’s an expensive device, but I bought it to last a lifetime.
Unlike any previous computer I’d had, the iPad was totally sealed and not expandable, and hence, shouldn’t cost much more than the initial cost. It’s also less likely to stop working because of something added to it that causes the whole system to fail, like previous computers I had (the amount of times I’d have to rescue my linux installations over and over was ridiculous, with drives failing, etc.). In that I was correct — the iPad 2 is still working just as it ever was, and doesn’t look like it will fail for no reason at all, so will most likely be with me for the foreseeable future, as long as I continue to care for it as I have.
I bought a VGA to 30-pin connector early on because I had to be compatible with projectors, and this was to prove quite useful on the one day I actually did perform the talk I created (in front of college students though, as a test). I could not justify the HDMI adaptor l would have liked later, as it is very expensive, but nevertheless I didn’t want to get a cheap alternative — I’d heard of compatibility issues.
Since then, though, I’ve found a full Apple Composite video and audio to 30-pin adaptor, secondhand (but seemed to me to be new) at a very cheap price, and similarly, more recently, a proper Apple HDMI to 30-pin adaptor which although secondhand and at a very attractive price, also seemed new and unopened. So, gradually, I’m building up the connectors. I’d rather go without for a few years and stick to the proper Apple ones, as the counterfeit ones are highly unlikely to have the same electronics implemented the same way inside them.
Can someone describe the confirmed/demonstrated dangers in connecting a non-Apple certified cck?
Admittedly I don't know for sure and am assuming that I'm not doing any damage. But if there really is a possibility of damage to the iPad then I'd like to know. Can I read about this somewhere?
Thanks appreciate it.
(Maybe this thread can turn into something helpful after all. )
The issue is the chip Apple has in their cords.
I'm not enraptured at the idea of paying through the nose for a CCK, but I bought one, and it's working like a champ, years later. I'm realistic. That's what it costs. Where I'd draw the line is determined by what I'm willing to do without. I need the CCK for multiple peripherals, so I bought one. No complaints.
Indeed, it has more functionality than when I bought it, because somewhere along the line, they started working with iPhone. Used to only be workable w/ iPads.
It's all relative. I quit smoking 5 months ago. That's $280 A month in my pocket. Anything I need, within that amount, is all gravy!!

Of course! A battery is a battery. As long as it works, I'm going to buy the cheaper one. If I find a $5 CCK cable that works, then I'll buy it over a $45 one.
The value of the car or idevice that you're using the battery or the CCK with is not relevant. Your analogy doesn't work and is completely meaningless.
"iDevices are a prestige investment." That might be the most ridiculous comment I've seen posted on this forum. If you bought your iDevice for the "prestige," then you're a complete tool.
"But I have no sympathy for someone who gets a lighting cable from a Sunoco, then wonders what the problem is."
That's nice. No one in this thread has said that. Have any more meaningless insight?
You sound really angry, abusive and all-around douche-like, but I'll let it roll off.
A battery is a battery? Do you suppose there aren't better quality control practices w/ some companies than with others?
Bottom line is PONY up or SHUT up, because no one gives a flying **** that you feel angry about the cost of an adapter. It's boring.
You sound very angry.
Read it back and take a good look at it. You came in hot and personal, not me.
Way to parrot what I said first, though. Well done.
Yeah as long you don't come on this forum asking for what next to do after the cheapo cck fries your system.
You heard what the soundtestroom said above?
My work colleague paid for a cheapo charger on eBay. Guess what? It caught fire after using it? Be warned. You might think you are cleverer than Apple but you get peanuts if you pay peanuts
Apple products are some of the most pirated out there... If you don't want to spend the cash then it's buyer beware...
Anyone remember the entire fake Apple Store???

I don't and wouldn't use a non apple certified charger. the adapter cable I thought was a different story. However, I'm not sure about it and don't want to damage my ipad.
This is why I've asked if anyone has any evidence of a lightning cck doing damage to the ipad or an explanation of how this can happen.
That's information a lot of people would be interested in no?
I searched. Couldn't find any instance where a CCK, Apple made or otherwise, has caused damage to an ipad. If you're using it to connect to an audio interface or midi device, the voltages are so low that I couldn't see how it could damage anything. You could probably hit any of the pins in the charging port with +5VDC and not damage anything at all. The only risk I feel when buying an aftermarket CCK is the risk of being out $5-$10. A cheap CCK is not going to fry your iPad. If that were a thing that happened, you would have no problem finding people reporting it as an issue.
For @FrankieJay, you're right in suggesting that there is a certain amount of risk in buying a knockoff AC adapter, but that's not what we're talking about. However, there's a certain amount of risk with any AC adapter that you use. Even Apple power supplies catch fire.
