AI-generated summary
If you’re in the Apple ecosystem, this is the kind of cable that just works. A 2m Apple-branded Lightning lead with USB‑C on both ends is especially handy in offices where devices live on docks/chargers but you still need a Lightning connection for older iPads/iPhones or peripherals. Paying £23.27 ex‑VAT is not “impulse buy” money, but it’s fairly reasonable for a long, reliable cable from a reputable brand—less faff with flaky charging and fewer “it works until you move it” moments.
That said, I wouldn’t buy it *just* because it’s Apple. If you already have shorter cables around, or your users don’t need the extra length, there are cheaper third-party Lightning cables that can do the job—at the risk of inconsistent longevity. Also, if your fleet is mostly USB‑C-native devices now, this is a short-term compatibility play rather than a forward-looking investment. In short: buy it for workplace Apple holdouts and cable-reliability-critical setups; skip it if you’re trying to minimise cost per device or you’re moving away from Lightning.
