Cheap third-party Lighting cables are coming soon

This is good news for people who've bought an iPhone, but are waiting for third-party cables as opposed to Apple's $20 official option. We reported earlier that the Lightning cable has a chip inside. It's either an authenticator chip, or more likely, a way for Apple to dynamically re-assign pins. Either way, it meant that we'd have to wait until someone was able to determine what the chip did and how to copy it. Word has come in today that iPhone5Mod has released a dock with an actual, working, third-party cable that lights up. And the dock doesn't look halfway bad either.

The glowing cable does function without the dock.
