Not a direct replacement for Apple's USB-C to Lightning cable

This is not a very good cable and is not a direct replacement for Apple's original USB-C to Lightning cable. Here's what happens in my testing: When my iPhone XS is at 44%, my Apple USB-C to Lightning cable charges my iPhone XS from 44% to 84% in about 25 minutes or less. After my phone reaches 84%, the iPhone XS starts charging slowly until it reaches 100%. This test was conducted using an Apple 87W USB-C charger. When I use this Anker USB-C cable and my iPhone is at 44%, it charges to 66% in about 10 minutes. It then slowly charges from 66% to 100% using the same 87W Apple USB-C charger. So there is a definite difference in the charging possibilities with this cable. This cable does not charge as efficiently as Apple's original USB-C to Lightning cable.
