The Best Quality Apple-compatible Cables Available
585842
Sometimes it's the little things in life, like functioning USB lightning cables, that can sway the tables between our feeling like Travolta at the beginning of Saturday Night Fever versus Ratso on the bus in Midnight Cowboy. These thick gauge cables with their durably manufactured connectors work like champs; unlike so many of the other subpar cable knockoffs that peter out after a few uses. From my initial peering into the cardboard box and seeing the utilitarian thick grade polyethylene faux ziploc packaging, my inner dweeb knew that care and thought had been put into this product.
Sadly, Amazon reviews have been infested by Vine shills and English-as-a-second-language clowns paid to falsely denigrate products. Authentic reviews now end up buried and, when read, are done so through a prism of knee jerk skepticism. These cables are excellent.

These are really great, high quality cords.  They are thicker than original Apple Thunderbolt cables and they work perfectly with my iPad Air and my iPhone 5s.

Heavy duty cable. Only non-Apple cable I would recommend.

Tired of buying Apple's overpriced Ligtning Cables that appear to break frequently, I decided to try Newtrent NT-L3W cable. To start, this is Apple MFI certified which means it is approved by apple as being completely compatible to the original specifications that apple requires. It also is scratch resistant which is great for those who care about the aesthetics of their cables as they are often rubbing up against an edge of a desk or some other object while charging, diminishing the look of the cable with various dark marks--assuming you care about the look of your cable.  The final thing to be aware of is that these Newtrent cables are warrantied for 10 months which is nearly identical to Apple's warranty--12 months--at a much more attractive price point. Now my review. I have used this 3 foot/1 m cable with my Ipod touch 5g, my Iphone 5S, my Ipad Air 2. I have found charging to be equal to the original apple cable and have found no problems with compatibility or charging times. They seem to charge well and the cable is seems sturdy and well made. I have charged using a wall outlet with the original apple adapter as well as a car charger and it worked flawlessly. I would recommend this cable to anyone who needs or wants a lightning cable and especially if they don't want to buy an original apple cable at a much higher price.

This cable is apple certified, which was my biggest deciding factor when looking for lightning cables. I purchased this about 2 months ago, and when I purchased it, non-apple lightning cables were few and far between. Monoprice and Amazon were my two choices, and after shipping, Amazon was cheaper and would get to me faster (I am a prime member). I use this cable to plug into my computer at work to keep my phone charged while working. It has not had any issues, is just the right length, and fits my phone perfectly. No sense in spending the extra money for the actual apple cable; this cable is just as good and seems very quality. I would recommend this to anyone with an apple product with lightning cable charging/sync ports. Great product amazon!

These AmazonBasics 30-pin Charging/Sync cables for Apple products are great.  The cables are solidly built from good quality components.  I have been using these cables on a daily basis with an iPhone 4S and a 3rd generation iPad, and they work flawlessly.  They look just as good as the day they were new, and show no visible wear and tear.  I appreciate the Amazon Frustration-Free packaging.  All in all, these are great cables and I recommend them without hesitation.

I have to start with the construction of this cable and the connectors.  It's sturdy!  The connectors seem much better built than an OEM apple cable.  The insulation on the cable seems strong, almost to the point of detriment because it makes the cable somewhat stiff.

Data speeds are not noticeably better or worse than an OEM Apple cable.

Amazon Basics is definitely the way to go when it comes to this cable.  I've had this cable for a little over 6 months now and I've ordered two more.  I think that says it all.

The 6 feet long cable is very convenient for times when you need a longer cable than the standard Apple 3 feet length.  The construction seems to be very strong and durable.  I ordered several of these cables, and they all work perfectly.  Not sure how they will hold up in the months ahead, but so far the cables seem to be very high quality at a much better price than the Apple brand equivalent

I have tried several cables from various vendor but iXCC are simply the best! The cables are strong at each end, fully compatible with iPhones, iPad for sync. and charge with a computer or car. Also, I would like to confirm that these cables work with Apple Play. I have a Ford Fusion and iXCC cables worked without any issue.

When it comes to iPhone chargers, there's a fine line between a great cable and a not so great cable. Many cables break quickly or aren't certified and refuse to play nicely with your Apple devices. I am so pleased to report that this cable is an excellent cable and holds true to the quality it promises!

PROS:
-The cable is thicker and feels sturdier than the original Apple cables. The connectors seem like they will last as well.
-It's 6 feet long.
-The charger head, while a bit bigger than the original Apple cable, fits into my Apple case, which has a small opening.
-The 18 month warranty is nice to have, in case anything goes wrong.
-Shipping was fast and the boxes were so easy to open and get the cables out.
-It charges my phone and iPad relatively quickly [even at the same time]; for reference, I am using the Anker PowerIQ 20V charger with this cable.

CONS:
-Since the charger head is a bit bigger than Apple's, it didn't fit into my Lifeproof; not that I expected it to anyways.

I'm very pleased with this purchase and would highly recommend this product to anybody who wants a longer cable at less than half the cost of an Apple cable. It promises to perform and follows through charge after charge!

I have been using the Android version of this cable for several months and have been very satisfied with its performance and durability.  I purchased a couple of these Apple cables as birthday present for my brother.  He has been so impressed with them that has gone on to give them as a gift as well.

I've had a lot of third party lightning cables, all of which purported to be MFi Certified, and almost none of which stood the test of time.  From the moment when I opened the package on these Anker cables, I knew the experience would be entirely different.  These are high-quality and appropriately sized (connectors fit within phone cases, which many third party cords don't).  Anker's warranty and customer service are a huge benefit, too.  All of this at competitive price makes them a no-brainer.

NewerTech cables are awesome -- the best aftermarket iPhone charge/sync cables I have bought. They are quite robust, and the connector fits with all cases I've tried, unlike several other after-market charging cables. I've never had compatibility issues with my phone unlike what can happen with other cheap cables (often that is due to the inner conductors on those cheap cables breaking). It's worth the extra few dollars.

Very high quality cables, even better than Apple's original cable so far. I've been using these for a few weeks now with no negative issues or experiences. These cables work perfectly with our iPhone 5S's, 6's and iPad Mini's. Highly recommend and this two-pack deal is a great value.

I bought 3 of these cables nearly 2 months ago now and I have to say, they're great!  I bought them to replace my Apple cables, which had finally started wearing out after years of use.  I haven't noticed any differences in quality or functionality and all 3 of the cables I bought have held up well under normal use.  I would definitely buy more in the future--they're much cheaper than the Apple ones and it seems to me like they work just as well, so why not?

Cables are good quality and work as expected.  Prompt shipping and very good price.  Apple certified matters!  I purchased non-Apple certified iPhone 4 to iPhone 6 conversion adapters a couple months ago from another vender, and they either did not work or were intermittent at best.  I'm very happy with these cables

These cables work flawlessly and are actually 'tougher' than the standard Apple-provided cables.  I would highly recommend purchasing the AmazonBasics brand ones any time you need a replacement.
