Deal of the Week | July 26th, 2013: 8-Pin Lightning to USB cable for $4.99

8-pin Lightning to USB cable for $4.99If you own a late-model iPod touch or iPad, or the iPhone 5, you’re already familiar with the Lightning cable it came with. It works great, but it is, after all, just one cable. Detaching and lugging it everywhere you and your device go can get pretty tedious.

Now you can keep one in the car, one at the office, one in the beach house… well, you get the idea. These are not Apple-branded cables, but they’re functionally identical (they can charge and sync your iOS devices) and sell for a just over a quarter of the price of the Apple version. That’s right: instead of $19, this cable sells – this week only – for a mere $4.99!
