Does this work with iPhone 7 and above?
A shopper
on May 17, 2020
BEST ANSWER: Yes it does. The smaller plug goes into the iPhone. Until Apple stops using the "Lightning" plug for their iPhones, this cable will work.

Yes. But the little end things between the cord and the plug break very easily so be super gentle with it.

Can this be used in an adaptor that says AC100V-240V in a foreign country?
Lowell B
on Aug 15, 2018
BEST ANSWER: This is a USB cable and USB carries 5V for charging. Many adaptors work on a wide range of input voltages to produce the 5V needed and yours appears to be one of them. When I plug this cable into a standard USB port it charges my phone well. Of course I can't give you any guarantees about your adaptor's compliance with the USB standard, and If there were a problem I would suspect the adaptor rather than the cable, the cable simply delivers what it gets from the adaptor.

Yes it can! The adapter is rated to accept input voltages (from the wall) within the range indicated without being damaged.
What you really probably need to know is what is or are the output voltage/s (some are adjustable). Make sure the output (or secondary) voltage of your adapter does not exceed the rated input voltage of the device you wish to charge. If you are using a usb cable, this will likely be 5 volts.

Do you know if these are compatible with those little animal cable bites?
A shopper
on Jul 2, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question.
We have not tested this item with the animal cable bites but these would be almost exactly the same size as the stock cables provided by Amazon so they would probably fit.

"Lifetime" warranty isn't
I have always believed that Monoprice lived up to its Lifetime Warranty. That they stood behind their product. However, when you have a cable (mine is a 6 foot long white one) that frays at the end, Monoprice says you have to have to be able to identify the specific order you placed, even though the cable is stamped "Monoprice."
Like you, I have ordered from Monoprice many times.--71 separate invoices since 2017, many with five or more items. And like you, I do not keep track of when I bought a specific thing from Monoprice. However, Monoprice will not replace my now defective cable because I can't find the specific order that bought it.
I like Monoprice. But I can't believe that their "Lifetime" warranty comes with a string, particularly since I have only ever returned one other thing.
Live and learn, Monoprice, but I thought you were better than that.

It just works. The Apple cables that came with our iPads broke after a few months. The cheap braided cables I bought on Amazon broke after a few weeks. These Monoprice cables charge as fast as the adapter allows, are thick and well made, and most importantly they have been consistently working for a couple months now.
