Where to Buy a Lightning to USB Cable in Canada
The launch of the iPhone 5 also meant the introduction of the new Lightning dock connector, which Apple states is 80 percent smaller than the former 30-pin connector. This also means there’s a mad scramble for Lighting to USB cables as only having one around just isn’t enough (unless you invested in Lighting to 30-pin adapters at $35 a piece).
If you aren’t close to an Apple Store, you can order it online for $21.00 but the current wait is 1-2 weeks. Don’t want to wait? Then you’ll need to hit up an official reseller. The latter seems to be sporadic in carrying the new cable, but so far they are available from Future Shop ($39.99) and Best Buy ($21.99). There is a bit of a price discrepancy, but you can always try to price match at Future Shop to match Apple.
As for other resellers of the Lightning to USB cable, it looks like carriers and resellers have the in stock (ie. Rogers, Tom Harris, Glentel Stores: Wireless Wave, Tbooth Wireless, Wireless etc.). Good luck and share with us where you managed to buy one.

Right…good point. I didn’t read it that way but you’re right.
I’m sure he’s counting the one that came with the phone in his breakdown with the 5 that he purchased…..
Good point!
There always seems to be a big discrepancy in price between future shop and best buy, owned by the same company selling the same items. What is future shop priced for retards?
The best part is that you can price match them against each other and save 10% of the difference.
That’s what I wanted to do the other day, but both were sold out 🙁
Not too sure always wondered the same thing. However, I think it may be because the employees at Future Shop work on commission
The Apple Store at Square One in Mississauga has lots of them too.
Bought mine the next day at the Fairview Pointe Claire Apple Store. It’s true they had a wall full. What I found funny is that they had no iPhone 5 cases lol. I bought one at my Rogers store.
Shut up and take my money!
Where do you pick the stuff up from?
Anyway to get a longer one? I had a 6ft cable for my iPhone 4. Don’t know why apple’s cable has to be so short

Well, we’re forgetting eBay aren’t we? 😛
After all the destroyed iPhones from eBay chargers that I’ve heard, I’m gonna keep my iphone 5 away from them. Unfortunately I think I’m sticking with the official cables for now
Anyone know if Apple stores are carrying the 30-pin adapter yet?
Pricematched 2 at futureshop for $19.xx
They had quite a few at the Apple Store in Pacific Centre a couple days back. 🙂
Any word on when the chinese knock offs will be available. I simply wont pay $20 for a cable.
There is a sweet deal on DealTicker $15 for an iPhone 5 Adapter (30-Pin to 8-Pin) + a 3-Foot 8-Pin USB Cable – Taxes & Shipping Included ($40 Value) you have to search for it cause the Mods here wont let me paste the link…
They will allow if it’s a valid link. Disqus is set to automatically send all posts with links to the mod queue for approval.
Yes it was sent for approval but looks like it was never approved, the link is 100% valid its a well known daily deal site, was just trying to help some people get a really good deal which ends today i believe.
The merchant that is offering the deal is called ePacific Mall. Check them out!
15$ for a cable + an adapter sounds like a really good deal to me.
just ordered one from DealTicker… thanks for sharing!
I had ordered the same deal from TeamBuy last week but cancelled it after reading several unfavourable reports (including one on here I believe). Apparently the “cable experts” are saying the knock off 8-Pin cable/adapters would be next to impossible to duplicate because of the chip in them (I am paraphrasing BTW) and either they wouldn’t work or could damage the iPhone 5. Even though TeamBuy swears their supplier confirms they will work, personally I am not willing to take a chance right now.
Ya i was wondering the same thing but im just going to take my chances especially since i had a $10 credit on dealticker so i only paid $5 🙂
How does FS get away with a 18.99 increase over anyone else? Take advantage of anyone they can.
Price match. Bring up the Best Buy price on your iPhone and they will match it.
Why do you say it is available: both stores show “sold out” and “quantity remaining: 0”
Depends on your location. YMMV
Has anyone in GVRD tried ordering from those iphone5vancouver guy?
They replied quickly, but need to know if they are for real.
I think his name is like lightninghustla, they were selling for $20 local for the adapter..
I bought two last week from Apple Store in Fairview mall (Toronto), they had tons at the time and it was the only iPhone 5 accessory they had in stock. I need one for my car and another for a friend.
I can’t wait for the Lightning -> 30pin adapter to arrive and tons more cases and other accessories.
21.00$ at fairview mall apple store and quite a few in stock. Montreal.
Apple store at metro town has plenty of lightning to USB cables on the wall
Apple Store Rideau, Ottawa
i picked one up at Rogers in the mall and they were charging 20.99. A buck less than Futureshop and Bestbuy.
Try Pacific Mall or e Pacific Mall! I recently bought mine from there and works great. It came within 2 weeks.
