Durable but keeps cutting off

While charging my new iPhone 12 Pro with this cable and Anker 20W pack I noticed that the phone would stop charging every few seconds/minutes and start charging again after two seconds. resulting in battery damage over long distances. For demonstration purposes, I created a shortcut that logs each time the phone is "plugged in" or "unplugged", ran this test with both the Amazon Basics cable and the Apple cable, and got the following results received: within 10 minutes of using the phone lying…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions

Ok Cables & Connections

I have several of these cables for standard USB. Went for another one and Amazon recommended there was a newer version, didn't realize it was an AC USB until I got it in the mail. I'm sure it's a great product just not what I need and the Revains offer was a bit deceptive as it just said to buy a newer version.

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

Doesn't work with my laptop

I bought this cable hoping I could transfer photos from my iPhone XR to my Microsoft Windows 10 laptop. So far, only the cable I got when I bought an iPhone XR last summer works.

Pros
  • I'm looking forward to
Cons
  • Some troubles

Good solid cable for the price

Cables never fail and I find that in a house full of electronics users I replace them with an alarming frequency. Luckily the USB-C type seems to be of a higher quality (maybe due to the old ones being phased out? Who knows!) It's been working great for the past few weeks and I'll update if it fails.

Pros
  • Good for many
Cons
  • Almost never

Not what it should be!

This is NOT a USB connector! The side of the phone is ok but the other end is too small to work with the USB adapter! I would not buy this product. It really deserves zero stars, but that's not an option. By the way, Revain was very nice and refunded my money without asking me to return it.

Pros
  • Permanent test results
Cons
  • Upgradeable

I always go back to reliable RevainBasics

I've bought many different cables from different companies, but I always end up going back to RevainBasics. After buying a few other fancier cables including a magnetic cable, a metal braided cable, and a right angle cable, I'm buying this again, my second such cable. All others didn't work properly, worked poorly (phone wouldn't charge) or broke. The base amazons always work as expected, but all non-nylon webbing has some wear in the connecting part. They still work, but maybe not for much…

Pros
  • Lightning cable
Cons
  • flimsy

Sturdy but permanently disconnected

When charging my new iPhone 12 Pro with this cable and a 20w pack from Anker, I noticed that the phone stopped every few seconds/minutes to load and was charged after two seconds. restart and thereby permanently damage the battery. For demonstration purposes, I created a shortcut that logs each time the phone is "plugged in" or "unplugged", ran this test with both the Amazon Basics cable and the Apple cable, and got the following results received: within 10 minutes of using the phone lying on…

One foot is the ideal size for portable chargers

If you need a short USB-C/PD to Apple Lightning cable, this is the perfect choice. A foot length is ideal for short-reach items like a power bank, so you don't have a very long rope dangling. Nylon braiding along the entire length of the cable and metal housing at each end make it beautiful and durable; non-rubberized/plastic materials. Because this is the USB-C end, it's designed for Power Delivery/USB-C connections such as wall chargers, power banks, and USB-C ports on computers. If you have…

Pros
  • Cables and Connections
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
