r/iphone on Reddit: Reliable USB A to USB C wires (possibly Mfi certified and compatible with apple carplay?)
September 19, 2023 -

Does anyone know of any reliable USB A to USB C cables that possibly are Mfi certified or at the very least trustworthy. I have a bunch of accessories (ex: portable chargers, MY CAR) that only has a USB A port, so I'm looking for a wire that is trustworthy and won't charge super slow or destroy my phones battery. More importantly, it needs to work with apple carplay too. Apples website has no USB A to C cables, only adapters. Yes I know I can "google it" but I didn't want to buy a bad brand.

What is a Lightning to USB-C Cord Used for?
A Lightning to USB-C cord is used to connect Apple devices with Lightning ports to devices or accessories with USB-C ports. For example, Anker 641 USB-C to Lightning Cable (Flow, Silicone) enables fast charging, high-speed data transfer, and seamless connectivity between iPhones, iPads, or iPods and USB-C power adapters, laptops, or other USB-C-enabled devices.   This type of cable is particularly useful for newer Apple devices that support fast charging and for connecting to USB-C-equipped computers or peripherals for data synchronization and transfer.

Is It Okay to Use a Non-Apple Cable for an iPhone?
Yes, it is generally okay to use non-Apple cables for an iPhone as long as they are high-quality and MFi certified. MFi-certified Lightning cables from reputable brands like Anker undergo rigorous testing to meet Apple's standards, ensuring compatibility, reliability, and safety. Using a non-Apple MFi-certified cable with matching connectors will provide a reliable connection without potential risks to your iPhone's battery or performance.

Do All Lightning Cables Support Fast Charging?
No, not all Lightning cables support fast charging. Fast charging requires both the cable and the power adapter to be compatible with fast charging protocols. To ensure fast charging capability, it is recommended to use an MFi-certified fast charging Lightning cable from a reputable brand, along with a compatible fast charging power adapter that supports the required charging protocols. This combination will allow you to take full advantage of fast charging capabilities on supported Apple devices.
