Buy cheaper Apple Lightning cables from China

Love Apple’s new products but hate the fact that the new Lighning cable costs $19? Fret not my friend for the Chinese have already reverse engineered the cable (authentication chip and all). iPhone5Mod will be shipping knockoff lightning cables for a mere $9.99 (plus $4 shipping).

It is interesting to note that most “reputable” accessory makers haven’t even been briefed by Apple yet about these new cables. I’m not sure how safe these cables are but if you are interested, check out the video and their site.
