It's refreshing to see so many negative (I assume honest in this case) "I received this item at a discount in exchange for my honest review" reviews on Amazon.
Also, eQbit are not on the Apple Certification list, although I understand it's an opt-in system, but why a company who's gone through the vetting procedure wouldn't opt-in is a little strange.
Mfi is dead now I believe. Some reviews saying this stops working after some time. I assume only Apple make ones that seem to actually work?

But I'd be absolutely astonished if this was legit, the MFI license itself costs more than this cable and lightning cables are going into their usual September constraint so there's very little legit stock out there that needs to be cleared.

Not sure why anyone would wager using a £2 cable surging up to 12 Watts to their £500~£1200 device, MFi certified or not, but heat added anyway.

Not sure any cable, certified, genuine apple or other will stop or induce surging to your device. The charger is far more critical in this respect.
+1 for anker cables though, all 3 we use still work perfectly.

MFI Certified = $$ back hander for Apple.

Does "MFI certified" make anyone hate Apple even more? Vile company.

To end world poverty it's estimated to cost $175bn, Apple is projected to be worth $1tn.
Greedy greedy company.

The figure is actually closer to £10 billion, or dollars, the main thing needed is clean water, and jobs.

If you choose to make proprietary cabling/other equipment surely it is best to have a certification programme to ensure that consumers know that what they are purchasing is guaranteed to work?
Further, if others want to use your intellectual property (i.e. in this case, the design of the Lightning interface) in order to profit, is it not fair that Apple, as the creator and owner of that IP, should also stand to benefit?
