12/9/2023 0 Comments Anker lightning cableAnd that’s an important point-Anker has a great deal when it comes to their products. Price: Reasonable considering the qualityĪt $17.99 (MSRP), the price really is right on this charging cable. But, it’s really nice to see it here, because normally you don’t get much more than a cable tie with a charging cord. The case is really meant for storage and cable management, not as a “length refiner”. It also comes with a premium-feeling cloth, and has a portfolio-style carrying case with a suede-esque interior and a velcro loop to hold the cable secure.Īnker claims you can use the loop to adjust the length of the cable, ostensibly by pulling out only the amount of cable you want and leaving any excess coiled up inside the case. We don’t have an official gauge for what this actually means in real-life usage, but Anker is hanging their hat on the fact that this cable lasts six times longer than others. For perspective, the updated PowerLine II gives you more than 12,000 bends. The Anker PowerLine+ is in the middle of the PowerLine range, offering up to 6,000 bends before failing (presumably based on factory tests). It’s interesting to see the lengths to which Lightning cable manufacturers have gone to include the concept of durability into their cables. The braided texture does provide a nice feel, while the subtly metallic strip that flanks each of the connectors (complete with Anker logo), give it a unique futuristic look.ĭurability and Build Quality: Thought out, but not gimmicky While it’s nice to see so many colors, we wish they’d expanded it to even more, perhaps even the full family to match the iPhone XR. You can get the average white, but you can also choose a gray-black scheme, a glitzier golden theme, or the one we tested-a mostly red cable with a touch of black on either end. That already sets it apart from the flat rubber texture of Apple’s standard charging cable. The Anker PowerLine+ is a braided cable, first and foremost which has some durability implications that we’ll get to in the next section. In between is where you’ll see most of the visual cues. There’s not much to say about design: on one end of the cable there’s a standard USB-A port, and on the other end is the Lightning connector.
