2-Pack Apple MFi Certified USB-A to Lightning Cable, Fast Charging, Data Sync, High Speed Transfer, Sturdy Design for iPhone 14 13 12 11 X Xs Pro, Pro Max, Plus, iPad, 6 Foot, White

I've purchased these Amazon Basics USB-A to Lightning cables four times now, and I keep coming back because they offer fantastic quality and value. These cables are well made, durable, and charge my devices just as quickly as the OEM cables, but at a fraction of the price. The 6 foot length is perfect for reaching across the room, and they’ve held up well even with frequent use. The only reason I've had to buy them multiple times is because my cats have a habit of chewing through all cables, not just these. It’s not a flaw of the product at all, it’s just a quirky problem I deal with. Otherwise, these cables would last me much longer! For anyone looking for affordable, reliable, and well built charging cables, I highly recommend these. They work perfectly for all my Apple devices, including my iPhone and iPad, and they’re just as good as the more expensive options out there.

After my Apple-brand lightning cable wore down (the plastic around the lightning charger side literally started to break off despite normal usage), I bought a replacement cable from Amazon Basics in May 2023 to charge my iPhone 8. I bought the 6ft cable for $7.66 since it was actually cheaper than the 3ft cable at the time, and the cable has been working great. Here's what I noticed about the Amazon Basics lightning cable in comparison to the Apple lightning cable: -The charging speed doesn't seem to be different. -The 6ft cable from Amazon Basics is longer and gives me more flexibility in charging my phone. I can scroll in bed or arrange my desk differently. -The cable is thicker and feels more durable. If I accidentally yanked on Apple's lightning cable, I would freeze in fear that I ripped it. With this cable though, I would not have to worry about this (although it's long enough that I don't even yank on it in the first place). Although I would like the cable to be braided (I also got braided Amazon Basics cables in the past to use with my portable charger), this is more than durable enough considering what I paid. -The plastic around the cable is a soft plastic rather than a hard plastic. This makes me feel that the plastic is not going to crack after repeated usage (unlike the Apple lightning cable) -The plastic around the cable is wider on the Amazon Basics cable, meaning that the charger slightly compresses my soft-shell phone case when I'm charging my phone. This was also an issue with the braided Amazon Basics cable I mentioned earlier. While this is only a minor issue for me, it's entirely possible that the charger won't fit if you have a hard case around your device, so consider that before purchasing. Besides the few minor issues I mentioned above, I am very satisfied with this product since I am essentially getting a cable better than the brand name one for less than 40% of its retail price. I don't expect a deal as good as the one that I got to come around anytime soon, but I'd highly recommend this cable (or at least another Amazon Basics cable) if you are looking for a cheaper yet improved replacement for your lightning cable. This cable, as well as my braided cables bought previously from Amazon Basics, has made Amazon Basics my go-to source of replacement device charging cables.

High quality. Feels more durable than an actual Apple cord.

It works

Works great. I needed a charger that connected to apple play in my car when I connected so I can use my gps navigation and for some reason other chargers would charger my phone it wouldn’t connect to Apple play (unless they were actual Apple chargers) and this one did. I was also happy that it came in a 2 pack for only $10

I travel with these cords, and they've been holding up well. Great value and durability.

This Works as it should. Good to finally get a quality charger needed that also has CarPlay. Needed it for a long while. Happy to finally have one again! Its short length doesn’t matter much to me as long as it works great. 😌

My charging cord was getting frayed and I was warned that that could cause a fire. These cords are very strong and feel different that the cords that come with our phones. They feel like they'll hold up for a very long time.
