Anker Powerline II Lightning Cable, [3ft MFi Certified] USB Charging/Sync Lightning Cord Compatible with iPhone SE 11 11 Pro 11 Pro Max Xs MAX XR X 8 7 6S 6 5, iPad and More

I’ve gone through a graveyard of cheap Lightning cables, but Anker’s USB to Lightning PowerLine (6 ft) is in a league of its own. This thing is built like a tank. The cable feels solid, not flimsy or easily frayed like the Apple ones that come in the box.At 6 feet, it’s the perfect length—long enough to use your phone comfortably while charging from the couch or bed, but not so long that it turns into a spaghetti situation. Charging speed is great, and data transfer is just as solid. I use it with both my iPhone and iPad, and it hasn’t missed a beat.Bonus: it comes with Anker’s customer service and warranty, which are top-notch. If you’re tired of replacing cables every few months, just get this one and be done with it

I bought this to connect my iPhone to wired Apple CarPlay. It works just as advertised, and I expect it to last long because I am only using it in the car. The cord length is enough to use your phone or set it on the dashboard.

Quality is up to standards and it works as intended. I mainly use it for CarPlay and have had no issues so far.

The latest version of the Anker ‘Powerline’ cord continues to have a design that outlasts the apple official wire. Its my “daily driver” when I charge every night before sleep, and when I travel. Data seems to pass through well, and works well with wired apple-car-play (a good indicator of wire quality, in case you didnt know).This wire replaced a Powerline 2 that lasted many years and many trips.At 10ft long you get a lot of freedom to move. It stays in the lightning port well and has a reliable connection.The connector is maybe .5mm taller than the previous version, but I think it would clear most cases, but its NOT as slim as an Apple cord so of your case *only* fits an apple wire (rare now a days) then this might not for.I photographed the pins, the metallurgy of the pins appears to have less of a gold color. I can only speculate that its a cost saving measure… however I cannot say that for sure.I'd suggest if you need a reliable, and long-lasting cable- and flexibility in tight spaces is not the most important factor, this is a recommended buy. ANKER’s quality continues to be impressive and reliable for the price.

The Anker Powerline II cable is indeed quite a durable cable however there are a few problems with it along with reasons why I still think you should get some. Like most cables bending around the neck area of where the ports are, Anker's cables like most cables are not entirely immune to this type of damage however they are still much stronger than most competitors and much better than Apple's own official ones. Another problem with the Powerline II series it that the lightning connector can rust on the metal contacts, however I also must admit that I clean my iPhone XS occasionally with soap and water so its fair to say that the phone dock can have some left over moisture that rusts the cable ports. The last complain I have is if you decide to purchase in White, the cable may start turning yellow, I'm not sure if it has to do with how I store them but this is mostly just a cosmetic problem that doesn't affect the actual durability of the product but if this bothers you you should probably just get it in a different color. Now onto the positives, it is very fairly priced, most Lightning cables at this price range (10-20$) are not as strong and Apple's standard design is far more expensive at 30$ but far more fragile, thus this cable is what I believe to have the most value in terms of strength and price. Finally, the lifetime warranty. Customer Service for Anker in my experience is pretty high tier, I had two cables fail on me due to repeated twisting on the lightning side and thus got "The bends" and eventually stopped charging, Anker support asked me to provide a few details through e-mail about what the problem was and sent me my two replacements, this all happened within a week and I was quite happy with the results. All in all, I highly recommend this product for anyone thinking of buying a set of cables for themselves.

Well made. Inserts like Apple brand. I bought another brand. It didn’t insert with a nice tight click and then the charging after a while started fluctuating on and off. So far this seems to be equal to apples cables
