Dne This Lightning cable charges fast and stays connected without hiccups-thanks to MFi certification and solid unibody connectors. The build is slightly thinner than Apple's, but it performs well for its price. Overall, it's a dependable, affordable option that balances quality and value. Read more

What can I say works perfect plugs right into my iPad Pro and I like the fact that it’s seems to be a little heavier duty than the one that came with the iPad Pro Read more

The strain relief eventually goes, and the gold plating on the power contacts for the phone wear out quickly causing intermittent connections, or only works plugged in one way. Read more

Amazing product! I prefer the Amazon Basics USB-A Lightning Charger over the Apple ones any day. These cords are much more durable and last significantly longer—no more worrying about frayed or broken cords. Plus, the super long length is fantastic for convenient charging anywhere. Highly recommend for anyone tired of replacing their charging cables! Read more

**This review has been updated. See below** I love Amazon Basics brand as it is typically a great value for the money. This product was no exception on the face of it for how cheap it is and for a braided cable and the length. Braided cable is the way to go as the typical hard rubber/plastic cables are terrible. They crease, get kinked, and tangle way too easy. The braided cable doesn't do any of that and it just has a great feel to it. I ordered the red cable to sort of stick out so I know which cable is mine in the house, and it's actually a really nice color of red. The only reason I gave this 4 stars is that after about a month of using it every day (it is my bedside charging cable) it is starting to do what my other Amazon Basics cables have done on me, pull away from the phone rather easily. I don't know what it is but this isn't the first Amazon Basic cable that has done this to me. Cord plugs in nice and firm, so you think, you pick up the phone and hear that noise that it has come unplugged, give the cord an ever so slight tug, and out it comes. The charging cable still works and as it is my bedside plug I don't need to have it do anything but sit on my night stand. That's why I gave it 4 stars, it still works just fine. But if it coming unplugged is indicative of your experience too, and you need this charger to be a bit more "rugged" then you may want to bump up in price and name brand. **********Updated 12/07/20*********** Boy I feel like an idiot! Turns out that the reason the cable was falling out easily was the phone case. This wasn’t obvious at first because the opening on the case for the charger is plenty wide enough and doesn’t hinder the plug at all. Where it was apparently not open enough was the top and bottom of the opening, but just barely. It slid in and out with no problem and no force required so I didn’t realize that it was juuuuuuuust too slim of an opening that caused it to keep from securely going all the way in the phone and securing itself for a good charge. There is nothing wrong with this cable as I’ve given it to my wife and it holds absolutely fine on her phone. I had updated the star review from 4 up to 5 due to this. Read more

A common issue I had with factory apple charging cable was that it’s made from plastic and not flexible wires, and it’s also limited to the length of the wire it comes with. Once the materials used for the factory wire wears out, it starts breaking or messing with internal wires because of the amount of flexing it’s done through the years. Amazon basics charging cable far exceeded my expectations because of the quality, the sturdyness, and for how much I paid. I roughly payed $13 for the 6 foot options and on the Apple store it will cost you $29 plus tax same option! The funny thing is that you are paying for the same factory wire that will only last you a year till it’s starts cracking or internally not working. As you can see in the pictures, amazon basics makes apple look inferior in all ways. For physical description about the item, the wire bends as if you were bending a hangar, so you can mold it into what ever angle you want it if you desire. The end pieces like the lighting connector or the usb connector are made from aluminum which looks really sharp and modern and not cheaply made! The last thing I can think of is that once you plug it in your phone, it feels sturdy and won’t move side to side which I assume because of the better material used. Read more
