Over the weekend, Anker has announced the imminent launch of its very first USB-C to Lightning cable, which will be affordably priced at $16. This new cable is now available to preorder, with delivery expected to take place later this month during February 2019. The cable not only undercuts Apple’s official equivalent but also offers a lifetime warranty and a 12,000 bend lifespan, as well as supporting power delivery.
Anker’s First MFi Certified USB-C Cable with Lightning Connector is now available to preorder directly from the Anker website. “Continuing our commitment to innovation in the age of USB-C, we are proud to release PowerLine II USB-C Cable with Lightning Connector. Featuring the same remarkable durability and lifetime warranty that made PowerLine II one of the most powerful charging cables in the world. Official MFi certification ensures flawless operation with any devices that use a Lightning connector.”
Key Features and Benefits
The Anker USB-C to Lightning cable is designed to meet the needs of modern consumers who demand fast and reliable charging solutions. One of the standout features of this cable is its support for Power Delivery (PD) charging. This means that it can charge compatible iPhones, such as the iPhone XS Max, iPhone XS, iPhone XR, iPhone X, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone 8, much faster than standard chargers. For instance, using a PD charger, you can charge an iPhone up to 50% in just 30 minutes.
Another significant advantage of this cable is its durability. Anker has engineered the cable to withstand over 12,000 bends, making it one of the most durable options on the market. This is particularly beneficial for users who frequently travel or use their cables in various environments, as it ensures longevity and reliability.
Comparison with Apple’s Official Cable
When compared to Apple’s official USB-C to Lightning cable, Anker’s offering stands out not only for its lower price but also for its additional features. Apple’s cable, while functional, does not come with a lifetime warranty or the same level of durability. Anker’s lifetime warranty provides peace of mind, knowing that the company stands behind its product for the long haul.
Moreover, the MFi (Made for iPhone/iPad) certification is a crucial aspect of this cable. This certification means that the cable has been tested and approved by Apple to meet its performance standards. Users can be confident that the cable will work seamlessly with their Apple devices without any compatibility issues.
