I bought initially one and quite happy with build and performance. They are not MFI. They charge upto 2A. These are also sold on Amazon and fair reviews. I bought two more. These are better than sold by poundshop and worth trying. No damage to charging port.
The original iPhone cables are flimsy and poor build quality so I preserve it for data transfer only.

To clarify for anyone in doubt, these aren't the normally pricey "Juice" ones reduced to clear, they're a different brand named "Juice Bank".
There's no indication on the packet that these are MFI (made for iphone) certified cables.
we've had a nightmare with cheap iphone cables at work doing damage to the charging port, so we're sticking to MFI certified ones from now on.
Edit: to clarify the cheap ones we tried from poundland damaged the internal chip in the charging port that regulates power consumption.
We had a couple of phones flashing up messages about power surges even when we later tried to use them with official cables.

Does the cable make a difference to the charge speed as well as the charger!

As a side note, in Kinson, Bournemouth, only apples ones but for a pound great price. Good for spares for work or car etc .

Over a month ago ! And my find includes cable for micro USB devices.
:disappointed: muh, i wouldn't trust any of them... Anker all the way from now on for me... 3m kevlar powerline charge cable £6.00 off amazon... I've had too many bad experiences with cheap cables... one cable couldn't handle the higher charge currents going through the micro b connector to my galaxy s4 and it burnt itself and in turn the phone's charge port out... thankfully the galaxy s4 is semi-modular (£5.00 off ebay for a replacement micro usb female pcb, and 5 minutes of my time with my phone and a micro screw driver kit)... as for lighting cables... No... just No... £11 gets you the Anker Kevlar lighting cable with 18 month warranty: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B013JNUHR0/ref=aw_d_dsc_electronics?vs=1#productDescription_secondary_view_div_1461793077199 ... consider it an insurance policy...
Bargain, slow charge or not this lead is a lot longer than the standard Apple issue which is a nightmare sitting on the sofa edged over. Stormfront wanted £35, I laughed and thanked the guy for his time!
