We are an android family but at work they use iPads. Acouple of times I've forgotten to bring the charger home and have had to go all the way back to the office to get one since I have none in the house. I really didn't want to waste money on a cord I would hardly ever use. But this cord is perfect. I use it to charge my android devices, and when I bring tMihe iPad home I just flop the top and I have an apple charger.
