Ok, this has happened to us twice now.
We have Apple products, but hate their "stock" charging cords...flimsy and don't last long. Bought some better "braided" ones. They worked fine. Bought another set, they did NOT work...you plug the phone in and on the phone in the upper right corner it says "not charging". Had to return them.
Fast forward to today...bought the wife a new ipad...has the USB-C connector...so we bought some additional cables...USB-A to USB-C. It was a 3-pack of different lengths. The ad specifies mostly Samsung devices, but says it will fit "all USB-C devices". Just received them today, tried them...no workie....get that "not charging" message.
When I go into Amazon and try to find some of these cords that are SPECIFICALLY for Apple or say they will work on Apple, almost none of them do. What is going on here?
I would like to have some choices of different lengths, colors, etc...but for some reason almost none of them are approved for Apple?
Anyone know what's going on and have a recommendation?
