I've actually tried several different cables. The error message that appeared on the phone always used the term "not a registered Apple product".

I have a Sony Xperia X from Voda. They also threw in a PS4 at the time so it was an easy one. The Xperia are pretty underrated and I'm partial to Android personally. Itunes is just a headache and a big reason why i didn't want to stay with Club Apple. Cut n' paste music to a from a computer folder to a phone folder without faffing around with Itunes in between is a winner in my eyes.

Yep, I've had the same issue with a "non genuine" cable. I believe they added this awesome bit of bastardry from iPhone 6 onwards .....(?)

Cheap knockoff cable works fine with my iPhone SE, which runs iPhone 6 innards... Curious.
But either way, even genuine cables are not exactly expensive.

Not really, but genuine ones are approx.$20 versus $2-$4 for non genuine. You're throwing money for the brand product.

Nice! How's it going so far?
I really think the G6 is the current 'sleeper' amongst the high end smart phones. Seems like epic value to me.....

And that's the issue.....I dislike that immensely.

Pretty damn good. A flagship phone that can hold its own against the big boys like Apple and Samsung at half their price, and without all the wanky, battery draining gimmicks that they feel obliged to add to make themselves "unique".
I've always had top or 2nd tier HTCs till now, and they were great, but this thing is next level. Only thing that shitted me was the LG UI, after the HTCs and Sense, it was almost a deal breaker, but I side loaded the Pixel launcher, and now it's almost perfect. Battery is very very good and the screen is awesome.
The Kogan prepaid, which uses Vodafone shits all over the Optus network and at about $27 a month for 16Gb on 4g, is probably the best deal avaliable.
The icing on the top is the type C USB, after going through about 15 micro USB cables I the last two months, that alone was worth the price of admission.

I still reckon it was that phone, not the cables...

Sure, same for any branded product. $20 is not exactly going to break the bank though...
But it must have been a faulty phone - how many million knock off lightning cables have been sold? Surely if none of them worked we'd have heard about it.
