Amazon Basics USB A Cable with Lightning Connector, Premium Collection, MFi Certified Apple iPhone Charger, 3 Foot, Black

I purchased the Amazon Basics 3-Foot Lightning Cables (12-pack) mainly to keep extras around the house, in the car, and at the office—and I’m really glad I did. Each cable is MFi certified, so I’ve had zero issues with compatibility or weird error messages on my iPhone or iPad.The 3-foot length is ideal for desktop or nightstand use, and while it’s not super long, it’s more than enough for charging in most everyday situations. I was surprised by how well-made they feel—the connectors are reinforced, and the cables have held up well after months of daily use. No fraying, no loose ends, and they still fit tightly into both devices and wall chargers.This bulk pack is a real lifesaver if you’re constantly misplacing cables or just want to stop moving one charger around all the time. I’ve also handed a few out to friends and coworkers, and they’ve all worked flawlessly.Small note: If you're expecting ultra-fast charging, keep in mind these are standard USB-A to Lightning—not USB-C or fast-charging cables. But for regular charging and syncing, they work just fine.Bottom line: sturdy, consistent, and extremely cost-effective for anyone in the Apple ecosystem.

Better than genuine Apple cables in my opinion. These cables are built to last. They’re nice and rigid in the spots right at and behind the Lightning and USB connectors so they’re unlikely to get separated there. I have 6 of these, none of them have had any troubles. I’ve had at least 10 Lightning cables die in me in the past three years, so to have these last as long as they do, I’m sold on these. I don’t plan to use any other cable as long as these are available. One of the biggest problems I’ve noticed with Lightning cables is the metal contacts on the Lightning connector tend to corrode or deteriorate. Rendering them useless. None of my Amazon Premiums have exhibited that issue. The price is excellent for the quality of the cable. Works with my iPhone 7 and my daughters XR. My daughter is extremely rough on her cables and she hasn’t managed to kill one of these yet. I have these in my cars and in several locations around my house.These also come with a nice Velcro strap, which I don’t use for the intended purpose. Don’t waste money on genuine Apple cables. You can get two of these for the same price and they’re at least as good if not better.

I purchased the 4 inch cables because anything longer just leaves a mess of wires. I plugged them into a 5 port charging hub so it's much more organized to have shorter cables plugged in for the sole purpose of charging. Trying to use your phone while these are plugged in is not ideal, but also not what they're designed for. I used to use Anker brand charging cables but they only seem to last 6-12 months before they start failing because they use poor metals on their contacts. I've had a lot better luck with Amazon cables lately so I've decided to use this brand exclusively from now on, aside from the cables that are included with the Apple devices I buy. Overall, these do a very good job. If they stop functioning in an unreasonable amount of time (I expect them to last at least a couple years without being negligent to them), I'll update the review.

I actually prefer this cable to the official Apple charger due to its longer length. The color options is also a major plus! Unlike other third party chargers, this cable chargers my phone and iPad in a reasonable amount of time, comparable to the Apple one. I have also never had the problem I had with other third party cables that tell me my phone is not compatible with the accessory. The only problem I do have with this cable is that a few months after continuous use I always have to buy a replacement because the top of the wire closest to the phone attachment frays and the wires stick out.

Purchased March 2020These cables have lasted longer then any other cable and I’ve tried MANY. My wife is VERY hard on cables, she notoriously pulls cables out of her devices by the cord, not the head. So they all end up fraying or separating. She has not destroyed these yet.I’m responsible for equipment purchases at work and now that I’m satisfied with these cables I’ll be stocking them.UPDATE March 2022I’m still using my 2 cables everyday for the past two years and they look and held up great. My wife’s was in the same condition but today my cat knocked her iPad off her table when it was plugged in. It fell full weight of the tablet and zagg case right onto the cable which split it apart and snapped the metal end off as it came out. Ugh! Wouldn’t you know, they are no longer available. I so wish I had bought a bunch of these.

Very excellent product. I’ve been using this for several months now and I’m impressed. Compared to the similarly priced basic Apple branded charging cable you can get, the value here is incredible. The cable actually feels like it’s protected and high quality which is strange for an Amazon basics product. I’ve been using this for several months now and it’s still as new as when I took it out of the box, with no cracks, splits, fraying, or any type of damage. It’s essentially a nice, hard plastic with rubber wrapped around the base of the plug to prevent damage. Works well! I’m going to buy type-C in the future from them

Years ago, I purchased a single white amazon basics apple cable. I still have it, and it still works perfectly. So last December, I purchased some other brand and accidentally didn't read the 3.5 star reviews on it. Well... in about 90 days, those cables all died ( I think it was a 6 pack ). So I got back on Amazon and purchased these cables. So I have two USB ports in my car. The old cables would say "not charging" on my tablet. It would charge when the screen was fully off and only then. But when I bought these cables, everything is charging even when the screen is on. I can't believe what a difference these cables make. I have bought SO MANY DADGUM cables from like BestBuy and CVS, and gas stations. They always end up failing. From now on, I'm only purchasing these cables. They just work. I've had my original cable for 3 years or so now with zero issues.
