Rajmund, I'm with Sieghard and avoid using anything other than Apple certified lightning cables. I also don't think I'd buy my iPhone charging stuff from eBay but that's me. I've had good success with Anker lightning cables purchased from Amazon.

I have bought less expensive cables from Amazon, but I always make sure they are MFI (Made for iPhone) certified. In China last year a woman died because she touched her iPhone which was plugged in with a cheap, non-certified charger while she was in the bathtub and she electrocuted herself. Of course the headlines at first screamed how this was Apple's fault until it was revealed she had been using a third-party charger. As for Windows 10, just go to Settings, System, Default Apps and set Internet Explorer as your default browser (or Firefox if you prefer it and have it installed).

By that, I mean, the plastic on the actual cable, near the end that you plug into the phone, cracked open, allowing the inside to be visible. SO, I got a replacement off eBay, which, cost me �1.50, however, over 20000 were sold. The cable arrived today, and, looking at it instantly told me that it wasn't a valid apple certified cable. But, no problems, or so I thought, it charged beautifully, until.... Thought I'd plug it to iTunes, and show a friend something. That's when reality hit me. At first, silence. Second, iTunes gave an error. Then, said an iPhone was detected, but it could not connect, (or whatever it says) please disconnect this iPhone, and try again. Did this about 5 times, switching between 3 USB ports of this laptop, for which, I have used the old cable to restore phone with. So, here's the question, is it possible that it is the cable, or would it worth trying again? PS. Its windows 10, on which, I have installed the update yesterday, and iTunes is detecting an update, but couldn't bother figuring out Microsoft edge, so that I could download it, hence the question.
