no love for iPhone at Monoprice?

[glen]

I don't know anything about iPhones.
After checking Monoprice for some charger cords, I am guessing that I am either too stupid to find them on their web page, or they don't make them. Is Apple the only source for iPhone 5 charger cables (USB to iPhone5)?

Is the iPhone 5 the one with the new connector? If I recall correctly Apple put a special authentication chip in the connector to keep third parties from making cheap cables. Theres a thread about it around here somewhere

There's no 'cheap' cable for lightning yet. Some OEMs have gotten the spec, but not a lot have been released yet and they're not that much cheaper compared to the original.

There are cheap 3rd party cables out there, but I'm not sure I'd trust them just yet.
