Not so much – the cable isn't actually compatible. It just looks like it should be.

This is even worse... it's deceptive. Of course they couldn't make it compatible without paying Apple (who would probably wouldn't have allowed it without egregious licensing fees), but if it looks like it works and doesn't, that's just doing their end-users a disservice.
