First, let me thank Anker for the opportunity to test this wonderful cable Powerline 3 USB-A to Lightning Cable. is measured at the cable-device you lost 10% of a 10W charger, or a lower % of a charger-device combination using 45W. Do the nyalon-braided cables wear and fray over time like you would expect from anything that is woven/braided?

An optimized internal structure means the latest generation of PowerLine has become even slimmer than ever before—without sacrificing strength. PowerLine II tolerates being bent over 12,000 times, lasting an enormous 12x longer than other cables. Combined with the 35,000-bend lifespan, PowerLine+ III is designed to withstand every twist, tug, and tangle. Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable). Enter the USB-A to Lightning cable, with its unique oval shape at the Lightning port that perfectly complements the iPhone's design.I have been using multiple versions of the Anker Cable including the 1st generation, 2nd gen and the Powerline Plus (+). Factors like cable length, wire gauge, and protocol version can all impact a cable's charging performance. The cable can also support up to 175 pounds without breaking, although I would highly advise against putting this to the test. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. The market is flooded with charging cables touting their durability, but they all have thick, braided shielding, which makes them difficult to bend.

Also, I hope it will not stain over the time and turn yellowish as the original Apple cable did within first year of usage. At this point, I suppose I am juggling bend lifespan, cost, and how the warranties factor in and potentially “cover up” the other two former factors. A maximum output of 100W allows for high-speed charging to a wide range of devices including phones, tablets, and laptops. Ultimate Durability: Lasts 12× longer than other cables and proven to withstand over 12,000 bends in strict laboratory tests.It feels nicer to use because of its soft silicone texture, and doesn't make a ripping sound each time you want to use the cable. High-Speed Compatible: Supports a maximum 15W output to fully charge a Galaxy S10 in just 90 minutes when paired up with a Quick Charge power adapter (not included). Personally, I am aware USB-C cables enable faster charging, but I do not have any USB-C wall chargers, or anything for that matter, that uses USB-C–and I am not sure if I am prepared to make the jump if using USB-A is going to be more versatile for me to use in the long run. We want you to live without the inconvenience and uncertainty of where your next charge is coming from.
