If I was ever going to take a bus trip I wouldn't be buying a pair of iPhonesThe non MFI cables almost always work out of the box. The issues pop up later when you start getting errors like "The connected accessory is no supported" and your phone stopped charging overnight right before a bus trip. Ask me how I know Or a new version of iOS kills the cables.
Anyway have fun with the phones!
I will invest in more eventually, but I am going to make sure I am going to stick with iOS first.
