Can you use off-brand iPhone cables with this device? I use AmazonBasics cables to charge my iPhone 4s and iPhone 5s.

You may be able to use it for an iPhone 4S, however the iPhone 5S will reject it giving you a message that you're trying to charge with a non-apple certified product, and it will not work.

The charging plug is micro usb. I believe APPLE uses a proprietary (their own specification) plug so that won't work. The USB outlet is, however, usable with a universal USB to Apple connector, so you could use that part of the charger to power your 4S. Probably make more sense to just buy the APPLE car charger if you can. Otherwise, it's a good car charger

I don't know about the 5s. However, you can charge the IPads and the IPhone 5...and I haven't heard anything about the cables and connectors changing, so I suspect that yes, you can use it. I got the black 4port...it has 2 2.1A ports and 2 2.4A ports. I also have another for the past 4 months or so, and that's why I got this. It charges stuff pretty fast.Jim

No,the IPhone charger or to be precise, the IPhone cable cannot be used to charge this particular unit. It has its own cable used for charging and it comes with the unit.

to be honest....& I work in the technology sector, I have no idea why the IOS version would make any difference, but the short answer is, I don't know. I will say this, I wouldn't recommend this or any other product Amazon sells of this kind of product, I've gone through 4 different brands of these now & all of them suck. I've not had one that lasted more than a couple uses. I'd be willing to pay MORE for one of these cables that actually worked for more than a couple uses.

Yes I just got the iPhone 5s myself and I use the cord on my 5s as well as my iPad4. It works great.

You need a cable to attach from a micro USB at one end to your iPhone 5S (or iPad 3) at the other end. I don't think it will work. This charger does not have the power to charge up an iPad.

It works on my wife's iphone 4S but not mine because she has not installed latest OS. (8) When I plug into my "updated" phone I get a message that "This iphone does not support this device." This is basically an Apple problem created by them so you cannot by any off brand accessories. F U Apple!

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

Don't work with apple products, only other lightning products. Seller quoted that: "The cable that came with this charger is a basic cable and not one of our Apple certified cables."

I purchased this cable (and another model by a different manufacturer) shortly after the 5s came out. This works really well with the iPhone. The one issue I had with the cable was that the connection is a bit big so it wouldn't work with the leather 5s case from Apple. (Well, it didn't work until I got a file and narrowed the connection a bit!)

Yes. I use it for my iPhone 4s all the time. The charger has a USB port, so you just plug your iPhone charger into the USB and you're off.

Many thanks for your kind inquiry. As we know, iPhone 5S is the lightning connector, while the item is a 30 pin one. So can't be used for iPhone 5S. Any further questions, please don't hesitate to let us know. Thanks a billion.

My phone is the 4S and I can charge it with no problem on the Anker. Any other models I don't know about.Regards,Connie

The cable that comes with the Gridder is mainly for charging the Gridder (and also serves as a Charger for Android devices). You need to get the lightning cable from Apple to use the USB slot to charge your iPhones

It works great on 5s, as the description states. Use the 2 amp port, t will charge your phone much faster. It is Apple certified, as the description states. At some point, you will have to start reading the descriptions. If you already do that, you will have to start trusting Amazon not to deceive you. If you are uncomfortable with that go to the Apple store and pay two to three times as much. You may be much happier doing that.

I use it on my ipad air everyday... also iphone 5s. Both with iOS 7 of course. I got the Amazon basics ones because my other cables stopped working with iOS 7. I bought one, tried it out and it worked, so bought 2 more.
