Great multi-use lightning cable
345075
Overall I am very satisfied with this cable. It is very similar to the stock cable. The only difference is the one that I got is black. The rubber feels very premium. The connectors fit perfect and I haven't experienced any wobbling when they are plugged in. I expect this cable to last a very long time with very heavy use. Phones such as the iPhone 5 and newer use this connector for charging and data sync. Many people use these phones, so a cable like this is very important to them. This cable is one hundred percent compatible with them. The great part about the lightning connector is that it is reversible! That means no fumbling trying to charge your phone in the middle of the night. The charging speed is pleasingly fast. The length of the cable is great for use with power banks, as well as when you are close to your charger or at your computer. For this price, this is a very good deal. Overall, this cable is very high quality and I highly recommend it if you are in need of a cable that is compatible with the newer iPhones and iPods right now. I received this product at a discount in order for me to give a completely honest and unbiased review.

This is one of the best lightning cables available. I purchased the cable from another site and I'm happy to find it on Amazon now. Connection grips (where you place your fingers to either push or pull the connection from) is a 1-piece injection mold compared to other companies that utilize a 2-piece plastic over cap that eventually breaks off.

Cable is thicker than Apple's; which is great for durability. It also slides in just fine with my Spigen Tough Armor Case on without issue.

I love this cable and plan to get more.

I already have two 3Ft long USB to Lightning connector cables, but I wanted a longer cable for some of my needs. This 6Ft Anker cable is perfect!!!

The Anker cable wiring is encased in braided nylon, which I feel is more durable and will last quite a bit longer that most other cable wires which are typically encased within a thin rubber shell.

I keep all of my Apple mobile devices in in some sort of protective case and Anker's Lightning connector "housing" is small (only slightly larger than the housing of the Lightning connector included with Apple's iPhone/iPad), so it should fit 99% of the various cases out there that you use to protect your iPhone or iPad.

The Anker cable is Apple MFI (Made For iPhone, iPod iPad) Certified and meets or exceeds Apple's own high quality standards for peripherals made for iPhone, iPod and iPad.

If you need a longer USB to Lightning Connector cable I highly recommend this cable from Anker! :)

Rating: 5 Stars

I recently purchased two of these and have been exceptionally happy with my purchase. The cable is the perfect length and is far sturdier than the Apple branded lightning to USB cables.

Dear Amazon Shopper,

Much has been said about this product, so I'll be concise and to the point.  This cable is longer, less expensive, and no less reliable than the Apple-branded lightning cable.  I've gone through three cases since I've had this cable and had no problems using it with any of them.  The only "downside" is that the cable is black vs the standard white coloration of its brand-name analog, which could just as easily be a positive depending upon your sense of aesthetics.  There also appears to be no disparity in data transfer rate.

All around a cheaper and (to my eyes) better cable.

Thank you

I've got five of these, and they see light use as backup charging cables. I carry one in my travel kit, since micro-USB is way more ubiquitous than Lightning connectors if you ever need to borrow a cable.
This is really two pieces, a micro-USB to Lightning adapter, and a hard rubber case with leash.
Out of the box, the connector does not fit an Otterbox Defender iPhone 6 case. It requires trimming about 1 mm off the rubber casing, which takes about 15 seconds with an X-acto knife. Unfortunately, this compromises the hold the rubber casing has on the adapter. When it is plugged into a cable with the leash attached, there is no chance of it coming loose though. I recommend storing/carrying it that way rather than by itself.
So far I've had no quality issues, but they only see light use.

Once I received my Anker PowerLine+ Lightning Cable, I was un-sure how it would stack up against the OEM Apple cables that seem to last quite some time and are very well built. I must say I was pleasantly surprised with how durable and rugged this cable is. I thought the size being only 3ft in length would limit my uses of the cable in most of my every-day use cases, but I was definitely wrong. Having such a short cable was a perfect companion for my Anker PowerPort Speed 5 usb charger (also shown in the photos attached&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Anker-63W-5-Port-USB-Wall-Charger-with-Dual-Quick-Charge-3-0-Ports-Anker-PowerPort-Speed-5-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S7-S6-edge-edge-Note-4-5-LG-G4-G5-HTC-One-M8-M9-A9-Nexus-6-iPhone-iPad-and-More/dp/B01IUTIUEA/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Anker 63W 5-Port USB Wall Charger with Dual Quick Charge 3.0 Ports, Anker PowerPort Speed 5 for Samsung Galaxy S7/S6/edge/edge+, Note 4/5, LG G4/G5, HTC One M8/M9/A9, Nexus 6, iPhone, iPad and More</a>). This cable is also a fantastic option for taking around with me along with my Anker 5k mAh battery charger as well as my 16k mAh charger. The cable is easy to toss in a purse, laptop bag or your back pocket and you can be sure that it will not kink or break under pressure. Extremely well built and so far am VERY happy with this product. To top is off, the convenient "magnet snap" carrying case is not necessary but a welcome stylish addition.

These are way better than the non-apple approved lightning cable I purchased prior to this from another seller. They still function quite well. I plan to order another one for my car.

Lightning cables are one of those necessities you can never have to much of If they are compatible with your everyday devices. In my case they come in handy very often! This cable works just as good as the apple cable that was provided with my phone. It is extremely short compared to a normal cable but I feel it's always good to have one on hand, especially in a house full of 6 iPhone users who always seem to need a cable. We never seem to have any extras laying around and this is definitely going to be used as a back up. It did not cause my phone to experience any issues while plugged in. Its a great size to use for travel or in a vehicle. It seems to be just as sturdy as others & is not made up of any cheap or alternative material. I would recommend this to an I phone or ipad user as a back up for sure!
This item was sent to me for reviewing purposes, but all opinions stated are entirely my own!

You could easily spend the same amount for just one lightning cable, but this cable is really great for those with folks with different mixed brands of devices.

I haven't had any issues charging my lightning devices.

I was provided with a free copy of this item for testing and my fair and honest evaluation.

This cable is great. The differences in this cable compared to the one you get with an iPhone make this product so much better. The ends are a bit larger making it much easier to plug and unplug. This is especially true for the Lightning end of the cable. Much easier to get a good grip on it. Plus, since the product is MFi Certified, you can use it without worry to damage to your Apple products. Highly recommend!

You can never have too many charging cables (at least in my opinion. I tried out these Bolden Design Lightning to USB cables, and the work exactly as expected. They do the job they are designed for, and they do it well.

The three foot length is adequate to reach from chargers to desktop (in most situations), and the Apple certification means that you won't get a cable that works once and then won't be compatible to whatever device you're working with. I've been able to use them on a regular basis with no problems.

$18 for two is definitely cheaper than buying them directly from Apple, and the two year guarantee gives you the assurance you need to know that you're not taking on any risk.

This is definitely a good buy for your lightning cables...

So far so good. I've had this for a few months now and no issues. A big improvement over all of the other Lightning cables I've fought with in the past.

I bought this cable with the aim of using it as an extension for my car stereo iphone connection.  My iphone has a crack in the case near the dock connector so the newer connectors which don't have the push-in tabs tend to come loose.  This extension has the push-in tabs so it stays in place.  So far I've tested it in my car and also with a JBL On Stage II, both of which appear to confirm that power and audio are successfully passed through.  The USB cable is an added bonus and I'll be keeping that in my backpack for use on the road.  This item also comes with a velcro strap to bundle up any excess cable.

Great six-foot lightning cables. These are great for when the standard length 3' lightning cables just won't cut it. I tested this for audio charging etc. and performs flawlessly for all functions.

Great quality Apple Lightning compatible cables for my iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Mini and older iPhone 5!  Love the super short cable for use with a portable battery charger.

The longer the lightning cable the better is my motto.  Nothing irritates me more than charging my phone and having to stretch because I am tethered to the a short cable plugged to the wall.  With the Macally 6 foot or longer cables, you can lay in the comforts of your couch, bed or use where the standard 3 foot cable just will not work.

It is MFi certified which means Its an official licensed product and uses an authentication chip from Apple.  MFI stands for "Made for iPhone, iPad, iPod licensed program".

The cable is slim, flexible and seems to be very well constructed.  The slim 8-pin connector head is perfect to use with cases since it is compact.  Also has an extended rubber neck to protect cable going into the connector.  On the USB end there is a Velcro strap that you can use to wind up the cable and securely keep bundled.

Easily charges and syncs your data without any hiccups or errors.
