PowerLine II C-to-Lightning

These are well constructed cables at a reasonable price. I've used Anker cables for quite a while and been really happy with the longevity. I did get one from Amazon warehouse that was a dud, but of course Amazon made the exchange very easy and I got a working replacement right away.Anker will stand behind the cables during the warranty period, but it's honestly been a long time that I had one of their cables fail. I still have some really old USB-A to micro USB cables that I use to charge my Bluetooth speaker in my gym. I accidentally burned the cable sheath a bit soldering something else, but the cable still works. I buy this brand for my Samsung Galaxy and my family's iPhones and they are always good quality.

works great and fast shipping. Love the Anker products but all of them need reinforcement where the cord meets the conector.

This is definitely an alternative to Apple's own USB C to Lighting cable. When used with a USB C PD type adaptor, it will charge your iPhone so fast, you won't know what to do with yourself.For example, it charged my iPhone X from 12% battery to 66% in under 18 minutes when used with the Ravpower 45W PowerWave adaptor.The cable is rather thick but is built very nicely and feels like it will last for a long time.Pros:+ A true PD, fast charging cable+ Performs the same functions as the Apple version for a fraction of the cost+ Is packaged well+ Comes with a nice Anker-branded velcro-cable-tie, like all Anker cables+ Both USB C and Lightning plugs feel solid and 'snap' in nicely+ Feels very solidly built+ Provides excellent value for the priceCons:- Is a bit thick and stiff

Using this USB C to lightning cable with an Anker USB C PD car charger and it works great with my iPhone XR!!~ When plugged in below 80% battery, my iPhone XR beep/ding as normal followed by a second beep/ding confirming PD fast charge. Folks, as for the iPhone fast charge double beep/ding, the time interval between the 1st & 2nd beep/ding is 5~6 seconds so do not be concerned if you don't hear a quick "ding-ding". It'll be a "ding----------------------ding". :o)I haven't had a chance to fully test the "50% in 30 mins fast charge" but based on what I've seen in the past week of use, I've noticed the battery percentage climb up faster compared to my previous setup (12W car charger with a USB A to lightning cable). Along with the double beep/ding, I have no doubt I can get 50% in 30 mins charge performance from this cable.I have used a wide variety of Anker products (chargers, cables, batteries, etc.) for many years and they never disappoint!! High quality performance!! :o)

The cord worked great and charged fast while it worked. I purchased in Aug of 2022. It was my car charger so it was used pretty sparingly. Maybe 30 min to an hour on days that I drove my car IF I used it and IF I drove somewhere that day. It stayed in the car, wasn’t yanked on, wasn’t used roughly at all. I started to notice that it was shorting out in October of 2023. So it lasted over a year. I expected it to last longer because I have chargers that are used more often and rougher that lasted just as long and even longer. The material used on the outside of the cord never frayed or tore. But I would say durability of the wires isn’t that great. But still not a bad charger at all! Would be 5 stars if I got 2 years out of it.

still works til this day

Excellent

Cable material quality seems good, certainly thicker than the equivalent USB-A to Lightning cables but still pretty flexible. Certainly much more durable than any Apple cable I've used in the past.I tested this with 3 USB-PD chargers:- Aukey 18W charger: Charged at 12V, charger supports 5V/9V/12V- Anker hub with a USB-C PD port: Charged at 15V, charger supports 5V/9V/15V- Macbook 61W USB-C charger: Charged at 9V, charger supports 5.2V / 9V / 20.3VThis was with an iPad Pro 10.5 - from this testing it looks like the fastest charging is going to be from a USB-PD charger that supports 15V charging (which at least the Macbook charger I tested didn't), so keep the voltages in mind when selecting a power brick, the highest wattage charger isn't necessarily going to give you the faster overall charging speed.
