Here are some tips to extend the lifespan of your Anker lightning cable:
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.
