When this guy went on Amazon to purchase some new iPhone cables, he almost accidentally bought a shitty product with a weak rating, due to strange and shady selling tactic. As it turns out, the key to making sure you don't get misled by reviews that are being featured for a product they were never written for in the first place, is to sort the reviews by "most recent."

    Amazon reviews - Text - So yesterday I was looking to restock on some iPhone cables. As you can see, these look like a great deal! 6 of them for $16 (price obscured in the screenshot, but that's what it is), and an average rating of 4.7 stars! Score!

    Amazon reviews - Text - Wait, what? Clearly these reviews are for the Kung Fu Panda movie and not for the iPhone charging cables. Growing suspicious, I sorted by "Most recent" and saw reviews about the actual charging cables... they weren't good.

The braid is nice, it is soft, not plastic-y, and looks good. The strain relief collar is not the same as the picture, instead of being a high quality looking tapered piece, it is a cheap looking square piece. Would I buy these again? NO.

    Amazon reviews - Text - It turns out that out of the 857 listings, only 11 were for the charging cables, and the average of those was 2.5 stars. Being the 'picky customer' that I am, I contacted Amazon support and told them about the issue. After a day, I got the following response:

    Amazon reviews - Text - All good, right? Well here's the plot twist: All of the screenshots in this post were taken AFTER I received the above email. In fact, the listing is probably still up as you're reading this: https:// www.amazon.com/Charger-Certified- Braided- Charging-Compatible/dp/B07R9 LJ9RY What have I learned? 1.Amazon sellers are able to 're-purpose' a listing with lots of good reviews to sell cheap junk to unsuspecting customers. 2.
