r/iphone on Reddit: Can anyone recommend a good braided USB A to lightning cable?
November 20, 2023 -

Hey all 👋

I bought an Anker braided USB A to lightning cable a few weeks ago because my official Apple cables kept fraying.

Anker was the brand recommended to me however, the lightning end seems to be loose. If I nudge my iPhone the connection drops (very annoying as I use it in my car for GPS and once knocked, CarPlay switches off).

Is there an alternative brand I should go for instead? (I thought Anker was the go to brand)

Cheers!

r/iphone on Reddit: Best lightning cable for iPhone?
January 23, 2018 -

I’m looking for a sturdy, long-lasting cable to charge my phone with. I’ve ordered several different versions of multi-packs from Amazon and they never last longer than a month or two (I know, I get what a pay for, and product quality isn’t stellar in a four-pack for $13).

I prefer 10ft cables that are durable and don’t break the bank. Any recommendations?

I’m looking at Anker cables, so any feedback on those is appreciated as well.

November 9, 2024 -

Im embarrassed to say between my use (1 device) and my daughter (also one device), I’ve had to buy 10 lightening cables in the past year and only 1 is still working. I’ve bought different brands each time but none have lasted more than a few months before they either physically break or just stop working. Is the answer only to buy from Apple? Please no hate on our device choices. I really hate this waste of money and excess waste. Any brands that have worked for you? I do have an apple mag charger for my phone which has lasted a couple of years already.

July 25, 2024 -

What’s the best cable that has a split USB-C and Lightning? I’ve been looking on Amazon and a lot don’t seem to support CarPlay in the reviews. I have a IPhone 15 and my dad has a IPhone 13 so I need a split cable for the car on the rare occasion he takes it. I’m in Canada not USA so a lot of Amazon products from the USA I probably can’t get. Thanks!

July 14, 2022 - It’ll be an awkward two year transition to usb c just like it was from the old multi pin connection to lightning. At least this time apple has already embraced usb c in several products so it’ll be more of a slow boil. ... Right? People in the comments acting like they’re being robbed of their 2x priced subpar usb by their current stash of lightning cables soon to be discontinued.

r/iphone on Reddit: Does anyone make a USB-A to Lightning cable that isn't super thick?
January 16, 2025 -

I'm trying to find a USB-A to Lightning cable to charge an iPhone while using it, to replace an old 1m Apple cable that's too short.

If I search on Amazon, all I get are Ankers, Amazon Basics and random Chinese crap. In my experience, the Anker Powerline is way too thick and stiff, unpleasant to use. I ordered an Amazon one because they've been fine in the past, but the new one is much thicker, just like the Ankers. I won't buy random generic Chinese cables due to possible fire hazards.

Apple made a 2m cable but it's apparently discontinued, and it was expensive.

Does anyone make a cable that's reasonable thin and flexible, like they all used to be? It doesn't have to be as flexible as the Apple cables, just reasonably so, not one of these firehose monstrosities that I'm seeing now. I'f prefer non-braided if possible, and white or gray.

(I might consider a USB-C cable if there's a good one, but that would require buying a new charger. I'm using an old 5W USB-A brick partly because I prefer to charge slowly and hopefully extend the battery lifetime.)

April 8, 2024 - It's an all in one solution where one end could be both USB-C and USB-A and the other end can be USB-C, Lightning or Micro USB (they implemented Micro USB inside the Lightning connector, so the Lightning connector is also for Micro USB).

October 29, 2023 - Only a usb a to c cable will work. The official Apple lightning to usb c adapter (the one you plug into the lightning end of a lightning cable) and then into the usb c on your phone only works for exactly 10 minutes at a time before dropping the CarPlay connection but continuing the charging
