Original and replacement cords broke after 2 months

Bought with very high expectations but it stopped working after only 2 months. Maybe it was just my device that failed, but I'm still very disappointed. I really hope they honor their warranty and send a replacement. Update: Customer service was fantastic and they replaced my cable for free. However, even the replacement cable that was sent to me stopped working after just a few months. I usually keep this cable on my desk so I don't know why or how it wears out again so quickly. I will contact

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Requires outlet

Lightning tip popped out on second use

Definitely feels like a strong and sturdy cable but it only failed on the second use. Weakness? The Lightning connector tab itself, which broke off in my phone during roll call. Luckily something was sticking out of the phone so I was able to remove it with pliers. Looking at the remains, the investment does not appear to be very significant. All the cable armor in the world doesn't matter if the connector itself isn't strong enough to take a side load. My previous 6ft cable (RevainBasics…

  • Comfortable to use

  • Almost never

Hassle-free lifetime warranty has expired.

Unfortunately, this product is out of warranty. I've had to return this product twice within a year so I'm thrilled with the lifetime warranty. This is what the multi-stage return process looked like. - Went to the Anker website to fill out a warranty exchange form, which requires a Revain order. number and a prompt to upload a picture, which I did. The next day I received an email (usually a letter) asking for a picture or a serial number. I sent the same photo again. - On the third day a…

Weekly Lifespan for Lightning Cable

Edit: After contacting Anker for a replacement, they said they would be happy to send me one in exchange for a 5-star rating from Revain. I agreed but waited to post a review until I got a replacement. In fact, a week later the cable stopped working again. A small burn mark appeared on the metal part of the flash tip, as if a short circuit had occurred in it, and it started to burn (like the first cable), and I contacted the company again. They told me to send them both cables to test and then…

Pros
  • Quality Construction
Cons
  • Long Delivery Time

Bought last year

I bought this product last year but was just about to leave a review. This is probably better since it's the only charger I use for my phone and other Apple products I have. So it's easy to say that I've benefited from it quite a bit since then. This cable still works like new. he is very strong and tough. Each end of the cable connects securely to the phone and port as it should. There are no problems with freezing and connection. It comes from a girl who is 100% to blame for lying in bed with

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quick start guide

I bought this cable about 8 months ago, since then it has fallen apart and is completely unusable. I contacted Anker to inquire about the 'warranty' and to keep a spare cable. I contacted them first with my claim AND I have attached a picture of the cable with the serial number visible in the picture. Without even reading my initial correspondence, they sent me a reply asking for a photo of the cable and a serial number. I sent them the same information again and then escalated the case on…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I'll write later

My Super Power destroys Lightning cables

Sometimes I feel like I spent more on Lightning cables than my iPhone 6S+. I remember how the original OEM cable lasted a few weeks. Original Apple cables are always too short. My battery never holds a charge, so yes, I use my phone while it's charging. Apple designed the phone with a cable underneath. This means that "kink" will always be the design flaw that iPhone users struggle with the most. Battery cases aren't fun, so I need a durable Lightning cable. After my last syncwire cable…

Pros
  • Easy Installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
