Anker 551 USB-A to Lightning Cable (10ft), MFi Certified iPhone Cable for Flawless Compatibility with iPhone iPhone 13 13 Pro 12 Pro Max 12 11 X XS XR 8 Plus and More(Black)

Anker has several different cables:Powerline Economy Cable, charges well, low price, rubber coated cable, cheap connectors.Powerline II Entry-Level Cable, charges well, low price, rubber coated cable, upgraded connectors.Powerline+ Mid-level Cable, charges well, average price, more durable cable with nylon over the rubber coat, more durable connectors.Powerline+ II High-End Cable, charges fast, high price, Extremely Durable, Best Connectors at both ends of the cables.I only use Anker Cables. The Powerline cables I have all over my house, the cheaper cables are great for areas you’ll just put your device down and let it charge. I use the Powerline+ in areas where we actually like to play on the phone while it charges. The neck on the powerline+ is more durable so if you’re moving the phone a lot it should handle a lot of bending at the neck of the cable (I have had some of these cable fray at the neck so they are not impervious to bend/break like Apple cables) Finally the powerline+ II I only have a couple of the cables, I use them with my powerbanks beccause not only do they seem to charge faster, but they are more durable and when I’m charging with my powerbank I’m constantly moving, bending, pulling on the cable, have not had a problem with the Powerline+ II, just can’t afford to upgrade all the cables in my house with this expensive line.Love Anker Products. Anker stands by their products and replaces anything for free as long as it’s under warranty (usualy 12-18 months depending on the product). There is 1 thing I hate about Anker customer support, they are completely impersonal. You’ll read this grievance in my most of my recent reviews, I’ll explain and let you decide for yourself if Anker Support could have, should have, treated me better. Just bought multiple items as Christmas gifts for 16 family members (16 power banks, 16 lightning cables, 8 micro USB cables, 8 Wall Chargers, 5 Car Chargers) Not only did I spend a lot of money but I gave Anker 16 new customers that are already purchasing more Anker products. So when my personal 6ft Powerline+ lightning cable broke after a few months of minimal use (exposing the wire) I sent in my request for a new cable. I explained how much I love Anker, how I just got my entire family Anker products and got Anker a bunch of new customers and I was surprised the cable broke so easily. I asked if they could replace my cable with the 6ft Powerline+ II, figuring it may be more durable. Their reply was surprising, they wanted to refund me for my cable so I could purchased the newer cable. They did not offer a discount for the new cable, so essential they were not willing to give me the newer cable for free, it would have cost me a few more dollars and honestly I can’t imagine it really costing Anker more than a few cents for the upgraded cable. This is such a huge turn off, I’m the customer you want, not just a guy who buys a cable, but someone who buys many, many products from you, gives your products to all of my family members, and promotes your products to everyone… So many of my friends have also gotten Anker cables based on my recommendation. Highly disappointed in your customer service skills Anker, still love your products but I don’t plan on promoting your products until you learn how to treat your GREAT CUSTOMERS BETTER.

I used it every single night for 3 years on my bed to charge my phone. My outlet is far away from my pillow so I needed a long cable to comfortably charge and use my phone at the same time. It’s the perfect length and was extremely durable.(Extension cable for power outlet poses a fire hazard so I felt safer with USB power reaching over flammable contents of my bed).Bought this on June, 2019. As of September, 2022 the actual cable is intact with no damage at the bending points (where most cables incur damage). The cable finally stopped working because the lightning side of it had eroded connector pins. If it wasn’t for it, this cable would’ve easily lasted 5 years.But fret not, Anker support is amazing and once I sent them an email detailing the issue, they stood behind their product and sent me a replacement.Charging power didn’t matter as much to me as I just wanted to slow trickle charge my phone overnight. Modern iPhones have special safety measures that allow you to charge overnight and leave your phone plugged in, so I wasn’t too worried about battery drain. It still charges fast enough with a regular Anker Power IQ charging brick. For higher wattage you should be using USB C anyway, so I don’t see this as a point of contention.The nylon braid is super durable and feels sturdy. Because of this special construction, the cable will only twist in certain way before you feel resistance. I suggest you lay out the cable flat and don’t try to charge with a forced twist. Also avoid bending in the close corners to prevent damage near the connectors.I took good care of the cable and got it to last as long as it did. I had bought the same exact cable once before in September 2018 and used it for a couple weeks on a road trip. My friends used it without care and it gave away by June 2019, requiring me to purchase the recent one that I just got replaced.Today (September 26, 2022) is day 1 of using the current replacement that Anker sent (it arrived in 2 days!). By the time I give my next update I think iPhones will be switching to USB-C to USB-C cables anyway.Overall, great cable if you need a long cable for bed-side usage. For any issues, always reach out to Anker and they’ll do right by you.

Holds up well to tough use being almost folded up in my pocket. This is the second one I’ve bought and I only had to buy a new one because I lost the first. I use it almost daily with my fast charge battery!

Anker is by far the most reliable cable available. Have tried to cheep out in the past and regretted it. Well worth the money. Instant connection and fast charging.

My Apple Play in my car kept cutting in and out. After trying several different cables, I thought there was something wrong with the car system itself. On a last ditch effort, I ordered this cord. Problem solved! I just took a 22 hour road trip with no issues. I’m glad I tried this cable before I had mechanics start going on a wild goose chase.
