Review on Anker New Nylon USB-C To Lightning Charging Cord For (6Ft by Todd Look

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very happy with every aspect of this cable

I don't normally write reviews but as there are not many reviews at the time of writing this I will write one to show my appreciation. I have an iPhone X that I've been using for about a year and a half. I've always wanted to fast charge my device since I've had one, but I figured using an iPad 10w charger was fast enough for me since I didn't want to spend $80 to get a real Apple fast charger to buy. (USB-C cube and USB-C cable for lighting). I searched here for a while, filtered through our branded USB-C cables for lighting, and found this anchor for $15. 6 feet, fast charging, durable, and a $15 cord with a lifetime warranty?! I bought it immediately and was glad I could find such a good deal. When I opened it up I was amazed to see how thick this cord was. I tried several original Apple cables, but after a few months of use, the cable under the lighting connector wore out. I suspect the thinness of genuine Apple cables is the culprit, and this Anker cable doesn't seem to have that problem at all. The 6-foot cable not only felt really strong, but it was also a convenience I didn't even know existed (they also included a Velcro cable tie). This cable charges my iPhone X from 5% to 55% in just 30 minutes, with a full charge taking just 40 minutes to reach 100%. At the time of writing this review I have my phone connected to this cable at 20%. After 15 minutes my phone is 50% charged. For reference, I'm using an Anker PowerPort Speed PD 30 power supply.
