We Love Testing - PowerLine II USB-C to Lightning Cable

Bought one on release day, decent so far. Thicker cable than the Apple unit but that + the overmold should equal better ruggedness. Have used it up to ~37w so far and no issues. Even the Apple unit gets a little warm at those temps. Nice work Anker.

edit: yep probably off topic for the nature of the thread but...if you’re considering testing, you shouldn’t have too many surprises.

August 23, 2016 - No, but I'm confused I thought you said they don't work in a lot of USB ports not specific ones. I haven't tried it in that specific port. ... they didn't fit in my 2008 macbook, or one of my asus motherboards, but did fit other apple hardware and other asus boards I have. The items they do fit seem to have more tolerance - perhaps looser/larger ports, there's just something that the others don't like about the anker a-c cables.

r/anker on Reddit: Should I buy the Anker Powerline II or the Anker Double-Braided Nylon Lightning Cable?
October 30, 2022 -

I'm wondering whether I should buy the Powerline II or the Anker Double-Braided Nylon Lightning cable because both are $19.99 at the moment on Amazon from AnkerDirect AU (both have free shipping).

Double Braided is down from $29.99 to $19.99 and is 1.8m: https://www.amazon.com.au/Anker-Premium-Lightning-Certified-Chargers/dp/B078NR6ZK3?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1

Powerline II is $19.99 without discount but does not specify the length (though I think it is 0.9m): https://www.amazon.com.au/Anker-Powerline-Lightning-Probably-Certified/dp/B06XFK2H8Z

I'm mostly confused because the Double Braided cable that is usually more expensive can only withstand bends 5k times, but the Powerline II can withstand bends 12k times. Is the Double Braided deal actually worth it or should I just buy the Powerline II? Both are "Amazon's Choice" and have the same reviews of 4.5 stars (~28k reviews for Powerline II and ~48k reviews for Double Braided).

Both guarantee lifetime warranties, but the Powerline II boasts fast charging and the Double Braided boasts braids. Am I correct in assuming that the Powerline II would be a better option despite having less reviews and less specifications in the descriptions but apparently faster speeds and more durability? Also, the Double Braided cable released in 2018, but the Powerline II released in 2017.

Is there that much of a noticeable change in charging speed for an iPhone XS Max between the Powerline II and the Double Braided cable?

Any answers or preferences to this post will be very helpful.

Thank you :)

I own the USB-C to USB-C version of both these cables. Both are good, but I prefer the braided nylon as the material has been more durable in my experience. I've had one of my Powerline rubber cables split open (although not the exact Powerline II cable in question, and was still usable after) and never any issues with Anker's nylon cables. I also prefer the Velcro cable management strap that comes with the nylon cables over the rubber strap that the Powerline cables come with.

The 8 Best USB-C Cables and Adapters for 2025 | Reviews by Wirecutter
4 days ago - Apple may be phasing out its proprietary Lightning connector, but it’s still around on older iPhones, iPads, and AirPods. We like the Anker PowerLine II USB-C to Lightning Cable as an inexpensive replacement if Apple’s included cable goes missing, or if you just want something longer.
