Can anyone positively confirm that this case will charge a 5/5s WITH iOs 8? Generic cables stopped working with 8. "device Not supported" message.

I have upgraded to iOS 8 with this MaxBoost case and it still charges fine. I did get the "device not supported" occasionally with iOS7, but it still charged with micro USB cables. Bear in mind that the not supported message will not affect whether the case battery will charge (it does charge). The internal protocol for this battery pack is to charge the phone first and THEN the pack will charge the phone if disconnected from the cable (the button on the back of the case needs to be pushed to have the battery pack charge the phone). I have been very satisfied with this case, especially for the price vs. Mophie (which also had the "device not supported issue").

Yes it works fine with IOS7. However I disagree with the "much more durable" comment above - my cable is thinner than for the OEM Apple Lightning cable.

Mine worked for a month on IOS 7.6 then conveniently stopped working 5 days after the return window closed. Seriously, these are just cables. Can't anyone besides Apple (who doesn't make their own) actually make a decent cable? (this is my 4th, only this one is from Skiva though). Ughh

I'm in the same boat, worked great then (just like every other lightning cable) it started coming apart near the 8 pin plug and is now not working at all.

I was able to use this cable on my 4S UNTIL the ios8 update. I think my phone says this is an incompatible device or something like that.

I'm sure that it does. It works really well with the iPhone 5 and 5s. It charges and syncs. The only worry is that it's squared off plastic casing on the lightning end of the cables does not fit with most cases. I just trimmed a little of the plastic to make the edge tapered and it has served me well for two months thus far.

Charges my iPhone 5S with no problem. Probably your cable is broken. It won't charge iPad due to low Amperage. It is even low to charge iPhone normally.Update: I read your reply, I wanted to say it can still be a cord, even if it charges fine from computer USB.

Our cables are Apple certified and is approved by Apple. It will work with any iOS version! Thanks, Pawtec

It should work on any iPhone that has an 8 pin lightning connection. I just bought one and received it on Saturday for my iPhone 5c. It wouldn't charge or sync my phone. Are you having the same problem? I need to exchange mine. I was disappointed since I liked the dock. Just wished it worked for me.

I found that both my apple and 3rd party charges work fine on it. The 3rd party is a bit thicker than the official apple charge hut it fits nicely. I wouldn't be too confident in dock charges

Hi RaceH2O! I don't believe you will have any problem if the customer "Bobby" below has an Otterbox and stated that our cables fit just fine. The width of our 8-pin charger head is 2cm, compared to 1.5cm width of Apple's 8-pin cable...so not much difference. If you want to triple check, just be sure the opening is at least 2cm and you should be good to go! :) If there's anything else I can help you with, let me know :) Jessie / The Friendly Swede

I think it works for 5 & 5s. I definitely know it works with 5 as that's what I have. Has lightning connector on bottom of case so you can charge with typical cable.

I have not attempted to use this case with anything but an iPhone 5 but to my understanding, if your iPod runs at iOS8 or above, it will not work unless the charger is Apple compatible

Yes, i have ios 8 and it works great. It doesnt have anything to do with operating system though, it just charges the battery. I love this product and have had it for just about a year.

Hi,I've used this charger to charge my iPad mini and it works great. I don't own an iphone 5s so I can't answer that. There is a switch on the side that indicates Apple or Sony products. I think it's a great product. Have a great day.Scott

Suck it up and buy Apple. A 6 foot will charge iphone but you'll still get error message. iPad not at all. Blame ios7

I just tested mine out with my 5S. No issues at all. I am using the AmazonBasics USB A to Lightning Compatible Cable (3 Feet/0.9 Meter) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009SYZ8OC cable in my car with it.
