10cm iPhone Charge Cable Short, 5 Pack USB A to Lightning Cord for Fast Charging Stations Compatible with Apple iPhone 12 11 Pro Max Xs 8 7 6 5 Plus, iPad Air/Mini

Product Information

The most durable iPhone lightning cables usually feature a combination of matte-textured rubber, aluminum alloy sheathing, and braided nylon, making them stretch and pull-resistant. Remember reinforced connectors and strong insulation, which lengthen the cable’s lifespan. When traveling, this is a must. Less durable options are typically made of plastic and PVC, which tend to fray and wear out. Testing conducted by Apple in August 2019 using pre-production iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max units and software, and accessory Apple USB-C Power Adapters (18W Model A1720, 29W Model A1540, 30W Model A1882, 61W Model A1947 and 87W Model A1719). If you plan to charge the iPhone, iPad Pro, and laptop, you'll want cables with a 100W charge capacity or higher. iPhones have long supported faster charging with a 12W iPad adapter, and Apple improved on that rate by introducing fast charging via USB Power Delivery (PD) with the release of the iPhone 8 in 2017. Most newer iPhones, such as the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14, can charge at between 25W and 27W.

Stage 2 - Saturation: This is the phase where the voltage has reached its peak and current drops down.Meanwhile, when choosing a charging cable, durability is key. Nylon braiding reduces tangling; look for reinforcements where the cable meets the connector, as that’s where cables tend to fray. Testing conducted by Apple in February 2022 using preproduction iPhone SE (3rd generation) units and software and accessory Apple USB-C Power Adapter (20W Model A2305). The majority of chargers on the market use silicon semiconductors. Gallium nitride (GaN) is a relatively new alternative to silicon that offers a lot of benefits: GaN chargers are smaller, more efficient, and require fewer components than silicon chargers. They’re also more expensive. Ultimately, traditional silicon chargers are fine for most people. If you’re looking for the absolute slimmest option on the market, however, it's likely to be a GaN charger. Next, take time to assess your needs. Do you frequently charge multiple devices simultaneously? If so, buying a charger with multiple ports probably makes sense. Do you have AirPods or an Apple Watch to charge? Look into a wireless charging pad (but expect slower speeds).

I travel a lot. The YUNGSONG Lightning to USB Cables are constructed using aluminum alloy sheathing and braided nylon for actual reinforcement. They feel much sturdier than standard iPhone cables. Many cables on the market, such as Apple's OEM USB-C charge cable, also only have 1-year warranties, effectively making them throwaway products, whereas others have 18-month, 2-year, 5-year, or even lifetime warranties. For this list, we've chosen a variety of well-known vendors with reputable support policies. It's expensive for what it is but as is always the way with Apple products, you'll grudgingly realize why. Just don't count on it coming with a power adapter or cable because, of course, it doesn't, so that’s potentially yet another expense you’ll have to factor in if you somehow don’t already have one. Still, cost aside this is one of the best iPhone chargers. What type of iPhone charger is for you? How to choose the best iPhone charger for youUse iPhone lightning cables that are at least 6 feet long, which allows you to use your phone while sitting, standing, or resting near a wall outlet in most rooms. Additionally, for white plastic/PVC cables, this length can keep them off the floor to prevent graying and fraying. Anything longer than 6 feet and you may experience slower charging speeds thanks to power loss caused by distance. We know that the world of charging is a bit of a minefield and it can feel like there are loads of specs to sift through. So, we've done the hard work for you and collected the best iPhone chargers below. USB Power Delivery: Every mobile phone has a charging cable that uses USB---even the Lightning cables for Apple's iPhones have a USB connection on the other end. USB 2.0, which has been a common specification for two decades, has a maximum power output of 2.5W. Because there's a requirement for USB ports to deliver more power, the USB-PD standard was created. USB-PD has a maximum output of 100W and is used for a wide array of devices, including most flagship mobile phones. All USB 4 devices will include USB-PD technology, which will hopefully help standardize this. Testing conducted by Apple in February 2022 using pre-production iPhone SE (3rd generation) units and software, and accessory Apple USB-C Power Adapter (20W Model A2305). The best overall option for iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. It has a high data transfer rate and 100W of power.
