I have a 5s, and the direction of the connector has never been an issue. When you plug in the phone, you should hear a short tone to let you know it is charging.

My understanding was that the connector could be plugged into the phone, no matter what side was up, meaning that it would go into the fitting of the phone regardless of which way around you connected it. Well, it indeed does fit no matter which way you turn the plug, but my problem: does it only charge going in a certain way, as when my sighted child got to the phone, he informed me that the phone was not charged. I was astonished about this, so he turned the connector the other way, and sure enough, the phone is now charging. Is this indeed the way it has to work, as one would have to mark the connector then, especially should you not get any voiceover speech for some reason when charging the phone? I thought I read somewhere that it did not matter which way the connector was connected to the phone with the lightning cables provided, so is this understanding of mine wrong then? Any help greatly appreciated Jan Kleinhans This email has been protected by YAC (Yet Another Cleaner) <http://www.yac.mx?source=email> www.yac.mx -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
