They were supposed to be. The two that were shipped to me were not. I returned them.

As I understand it, this cable is the same as Thunderbolt. So, if you are able to use Apple's proprietary cable, I believe you'll be able to use this one. Unlike the first respondent, I experienced no problems with it over the period of its use, now about 18 months.

When I purchased mine they claimed it was an Apple original cable. It was not and the phone will tell you that when you plug it in. You can purchase new Apple cables at Best Buy for 19.99.

This cable can be used as a charging cable to charge any of your Apple devices. So the answer is yes.

It works perfectly, I got it recently, and there's no difference with Apple cables

It works for mine, though the cable I have will sometimes cause the "incompatible accessory" message. A genuine Apple cable (or an approved third-party cable) would prevent that.

I do not recall it being Apple certified. My Mini radio showed the cable was not supported. It did not work for me at all.

Yes, it is. Actually, two cables are included, one with a volume control for Apple devices, and a regular one.

I was in touch with T&S; to ask the same question. Since iOS 7 isn't out yet, they don't know, but they said they'd replace any of these cables if they don't.

The answer to your question is yes. The box is the Apple box and the contents (charger/cable) are from Apple.

It does not specifically say apple approved. There's just a sticker that's says for iphone 5/5s. But one key note is that the USB connection doe not allow for file transfer. You'll have to remove the phone from the case which is not hard, and using the original cable. I do it all the time...kinda a hassle. But this charger has worked great so far, compared to the cheaper battery chases. I've returned so many because they were cheap or stopped working.

Belkin's charger appears to be not officially approved (certified) by Apple which allows for the low price (Apple charges a license fee for every device). Which means that any new update may disable it.

I have no idea. I resolved to only buy Apple brand cables but when I saw these Apple Certified ones I decided to take a risk. They're great cables.

Hello, Wendy!I apologize for the late response. It is a real Apple product. I was concerned as well especially because I loved the design of my old charger, but it worked out beautifully. I hope this answers your question sufficiently. Be well.

No, its a proprietary plug that looks very similar to an apple one (but is not the same).

I purchased it under the impression that it was. However, it did not perform like the original. Everything about it seems cheap. Cable was okay though.
