Id love to hear where your BOM came from._Allan_ wrote: ↑I buy my HDMI cables at Canada Computers & Dollarama... they produce very close to the same quality of image and sound as the $100 Monster or $70 RCA/Phillips/etc branded cables.
Just because it has a name brand on it, doesn't mean it's better... and likewise, just because there is no name brand, doesn't mean it's worse.
THAT being aid, being gouged to pay $39.99 for a $0.015 cent cable is ludicrist. I'll give them the benifit of the doubt - shipping from China probably costs them $1 per cable (they send hundreds of thousands at a time) and that's still a $38.985 profit PER CABLE.

As long as there's warranty on my iPhone, Apple will replace this $30 adapter I bought for it. So, say, 2 years.
Good luck returning that $5 knockoff to Hong Kong. You really should order about 6 of them now, save time replacing them.
That said, I was happy to order Monoprice thunderbolt cables, but I'm going with ONE good Apple lightning adapter. For now.

Wow... even aftermarket USB cables cost $10.50?! My dad kept bugging me to buy him some iPhone5 cables cuz he needs one for the car and one for the office. Well I told him I can afford them once I win the lottery next week.

When it comes to Apple accessories, I try to stick with them especially for iPod & iPhone. Some of my family & friends who bought knock offs and they either didn't work or failed after a few months.
If I was going to trust and put my money, it would be on monoprice.com.

if you care so much about quality then why not buy the real thing and not a knock off?...
No one here can tell you if the fake stuff works yet, or if they will break down/burst into flames in a few months

Not close. But it's the exact same image quality. It's digital._Allan_ wrote: ↑I buy my HDMI cables at Canada Computers & Dollarama... they produce very close to the same quality of image and sound as the $100 Monster or $70 RCA/Phillips/etc branded cables.

Wanna watch movies, pictures or whatever get a xios (xbmc box) and airplay it over
Also stop paying $2 for fountain pop that costs less then 0.01 cents

Fairview Mall still doesn't have the non-cable adapter yet.
Also, I have an iTrip that I used in the car with my iPhone 4. Does anyone have any guesses as to whether or not a Lightning/30-pin adapter will allow it to work with iPhone 5? I don't see why not.
