I still have PowerLine cables I’ve been using since 2016 that work as well as the day I got them. Anker claims they’re designed to withstand tens of thousands of bends.

Anker’s latest cable is called the Powerline III Flow, no doubt because of the cable’s unparalleled flexibility. Unlike the typical hard rubber you tend to find in charging cables, the Powerline III flow uses an incredibly soft silica gel, and flexes freely in a way no other cable we tested could match. USB-C port structures can vary depending on device manufacturer. If the port has undergone heavy usage over time, a new USB-C cable may not fit perfectly with the adapter or the device.

After researching many different lightning cables, we narrowed in on the top ten options, which we put through extensive side-by-side testing. After using each one to charge various generations of iPhones and iPads, we determined our preferences for length, cable material, and how efficient each cable was at charging. Through our testing, we could see the best and worst qualities in each model. Durability: Over time, your cable will inevitably start to wear down and fray as you tug it and bend it and toss it into your bag. If you've used an Apple charger for more than six months, you know what we're talking about. For extra durability, look for cables that come encased in Kevlar or braided nylon, which helps protect it from snags and fraying, while still ensuring that it's flexible and easy to bend.

To choose the right cable, first, look at the connector shape. They can be small (Micro-B), oval (Lightning), rectangular (USB-A), or symmetrical (USB-C). The cable is named after the type of connector that is not the standard USB-A connector. For instance, a cable with USB-A and USB-C connectors is called a USB Type-C cable or a USB-A to USB-C cable. If both ends of the cable have the same connector, it is named after that connector type. A Cable for Life: We're so confident about PowerLine II's long-lasting performance that we gave it a hassle-free, lifetime warranty.

We did find Belkin’s cables to be a bit more flexible than Anker’s slightly stiffer offering — but with only a two-year warranty, we thought the Ankers were a better buy for just about everyone. Belkin offers these cables in both USB-C and USB-A variants.

Since 2012, iPhones have been equipped to charge via Lightning cables, or eight-pin cables, which replaced older 30-pin charging cables. And these puppies can do a lot more than charge. They can also transmit data between devices, allowing you to easily transfer photos and files between devices if you're not uploading everything directly to the Cloud. Lightning cables are also exclusive to Apple products, which has been a source of frustration because USB-C cables are much more widely used. In fact, the European Union recently agreed to force all devices to be charged by USB-C by 2024. The idea for establishing a common standard for charging is so popular that U.S. U.S. senators are pushing for the same thing. What to look for in an iPhone charging cable This is a warning from the phone's software. Our cable is 100% insulated and passed extensive testing. The connector will not retain liquid. Enter Anker’s PowerLine cables, perennial Wirecutter favorites, thanks to their lower prices and longer-lasting designs. A cable is essential to keeping your phone charged, especially on the go, so it’s important that you have one you can rely on. It also comes with a leather snapping strap for coiling the cable, though our model was already flaking when we took it out of its brand-new box, which didn’t inspire a ton of confidence. Belkin also offers a USB-A version of this cable in a few lengths and colors, though we didn’t test that version ourselves.
