I’m a big fan of Anker products – they come at a great price, and give a great deal for your money. I recently received the Anker 6ft braided lighting cable to review – it’s twice the length of Cable you usually get with your phone, and it has many times more durability and quality.
Firstly, lets look at the size of the cable compared to the standard lighting cable that comes with your phone. The Anker cable is 6 feet long, compared to the three feet of the lighting cable, so it’s twice the length. This is really handy if you want more flexibility whilst charging your phone, as you can move your phone around a lot more easily due to the extra length of the cable, and it means you have more freedom to move around with your phone.
Another advantage of using the cable over the Apple ones is that it is braided, and a lot more durable. This can be seen from the larger rubber sheathing around the ends of the cable, and that the main part of the cable is braided.
This cable is great for those who are looking for a cable that gives them more flexibility whilst using their charging device, and also those who are looking for a tougher cable than the standard Apple one. It’s well-known that Apple cables aren’t the sturdiest and often break – plus, they are incredibly expensive for the quality that you get. That’s where the Anker cable comes in handy – it’s inexpensive at £8.991, and it’s also incredibly sturdy – it won’t break under heavy use. If your previous cable broke as it was bent a lot, you’ll be glad to know that this Anker cable is tested and lasts 5 times longer than standard cables.
For those who are wondering if this cable is Mfi certified2, it is, meaning that you can use it with all your devices and not risk damaging the battery. I’ve been using only Anker cables with my iPad and iPhone, and they work great.
In conclusion, the Anker 6 foot Braided Cable is a great choice for those looking for an inexpensive yet extremely durable cable. If you have had issues with previous cables, the Anker cable is the way to go, and is only £8.99 on Amazon.
