Besides convenience, USB Type-C cables can charge modern iPhones more quickly than older USB Type-A cords, thanks to the magic of USB Power Delivery. For example, the iPhone 14 series can charge at 20W with a USB Type-C-to-Lightning cable, if you have one of the best phone chargers that can deliver at least 20W.
The new cable is a great choice if you’ve been using older Type-A cables with your Apple devices, or if you just need a replacement cord for whatever reason. Anker says it has been tested to withstand “over 12,000 bends in strict laboratory tests,” and it has MFi certification from Apple for safe charging.
