10cm iPhone Charge Cable Short, 5 Pack USB A to Lightning Cord for Fast Charging Stations Compatible with Apple iPhone 12 11 Pro Max Xs 8 7 6 5 Plus, iPad Air/Mini

Product Information

If you have the iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Plus or only need a charging cable with your iPhone 15 Pro, any Charging/USB 2.0 cables on this list are fine. The USB 3.1 data connectivity standard was introduced in July 2013, and the USB Type-C connector was finalized by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) in August 2014. USB 3.2 was introduced in September 2017, replacing, absorbing, and renaming the USB 3.1 specification. Testing conducted by Apple in September 2020 using pre-production iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max units and software, with accessory Apple USB-C Power Adapter (20W Model A2305). Fast charge testing conducted with drained iPhone units. Charge time varies with environmental factors; actual results will vary. It's expensive for what it is but as is always the way with Apple products, you'll grudgingly realize why. Just don't count on it coming with a power adapter or cable because, of course, it doesn't, so that’s potentially yet another expense you’ll have to factor in if you somehow don’t already have one. Still, cost aside this is one of the best iPhone chargers. What type of iPhone charger is for you? How to choose the best iPhone charger for you

However, USB 3.1 Gen 2 and USB 3.2 Gen 2 data connectivity standards are the same, also known as SuperSpeed+, delivering 10 Gbps. Products labeled under either specification should work on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone Pro Max at native speeds, especially if they are USB-IF certified. With this shift to the USB-C connector on the iPhone 15, there will be confusion about which USB-C cable to buy because not all are created equal. Some support higher wattage levels to charge laptops and other higher-capacity consumer electronics such as power stations and portable batteries. Some even possess USB-IF or Thunderbolt certifications, meaning they have been tested to more rigorous performance, safety, and build quality standards. OnePlus Warp Charging: OnePlus uses the proprietary Warp Charging standard, which charges their devices up to 30W. Instead of increasing voltage like most other standards, Unlike other options on this list, full-speed 30W charging is also available.

Plugable USB-C

There’s nothing better than switching on your new iPhone for the first time, safe in the knowledge that you have a brand-new charging cable ready and waiting to provide that essential shot of juice when the battery first begins to run low. On the flip side, no feeling is as crushing as plugging in that same iPhone a few months down the line to a well-worn and splitting cable that chooses that moment to breathe its last. Testing conducted by Apple in August 2019 using preproduction iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max units and software and accessory Apple USB-C Power Adapters (18W Model A1720, 29W Model A1540, 30W Model A1882, 61W Model A1947, and 87W Model A1719).

USB Power Delivery: Every mobile phone has a charging cable that uses USB---even the Lightning cables for Apple's iPhones have a USB connection on the other end. USB 2.0, which has been a common specification for two decades, has a maximum power output of 2.5W. Because there's a requirement for USB ports to deliver more power, the USB-PD standard was created. USB-PD has a maximum output of 100W and is used for a wide array of devices, including most flagship mobile phones. All USB 4 devices will include USB-PD technology, which will hopefully help standardize this.

The best overall option for iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. It has a high data transfer rate and 100W of power. I have multiple devices to charge. The USAMS Multi-Charging Cable consists of four cables—two lightning cables, one USB-C, and one micro USB. The best overall option for iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. It has 100W of power and a lifetime warranty. Don’t just look at the price. Look at what you want to do now, and what you might want to do next year. For example, an 18W charger will fast charge your iPhone, but it’s not powerful enough to run a MacBook Pro. A more powerful one may be a better option for your future tech arsenal.

If you plan to charge the iPhone, iPad Pro, and laptop, you'll want cables with a 100W charge capacity or higher.

What you need

For as much as we enjoy the iPhone line of smartphones, we can’t in good conscience say that the official charging cables provided are always guaranteed to last the life cycle of the device itself. Fortunately, there are many companies that make exceptional, and in many cases affordable, replacements to the standard-issue charging cable, with some even being wireless. We know that the world of charging is a bit of a minefield and it can feel like there are loads of specs to sift through. So, we've done the hard work for you and collected the best iPhone chargers below. Testing conducted by Apple in September 2020 using preproduction iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Maxunits and software and accessory Apple USB-C Power Adapter (20W Model A2305). Fast-charge testing conducted with drained iPhone units. Charge time varies with environmental factors; actual results will vary. Choosing an adapter with more power is a good idea because the newest iPhones can benefit from that extra juice. For instance, the iPhone 13 Pro can achieve wired charging speeds of 20W or higher, while reports indicate the iPhone 13 Pro Max can reach speeds up to 27W with the right charger. Switching from a lower wattage charger to a higher wattage charger typically boosts the rate at which a charge is pushed into a device's battery. This depends on circuitry in both the charger and the device. The higher the wattage, the higher the charging rate, or "speed" if you will.

The charging process can be divided into three parts. Take a look at the "Figure 1: Charge stages of lithium-ion" chart in this article by Battery University for more technical details. Briefly, here's what it shows: No one wants to plug a dodgy cable into their brand new iPhone only to cause the device serious internal or physical damage, or even worse, lose their files. It could even be a fire hazard, and no amount of money-saving is worth torching your home.
