Best Overall
The newly released Powerline III Lightning Cable has proved to be one of the best iPhone chargers. Although it has a slim build, beating out the older models, it outlasts over 25,000 bends and can withstand up to 175 pounds in weight! MFi-certified, this has Apple's seal of approval, guaranteeing that it'll work with your iPhone, even if it's a third-party charger. Plus, with a lifetime warranty, you won't need any other charger.
Best Budget
Charge your phone without digging out upwards of $10 for a charging cable with this super affordable cable. This comes with five cables varying in size so you can have a small Lightning cable and a large one. These are nylon-braided to prevent it from tearing after everyday use, and it has a tangle-free design, so you won't end up tugging at it.
Best Long Cable
We absolutely love this extra-long cable! It gives a 10-foot leeway to charge the phone and use it at the same time while on the couch or in bed. The Native Union Night Cable has an O-Flex strain-relief design that makes it stronger than the typical cable with a 10,000-bend lifespan. A unique feature is its adjustable weighted knot that'll hold the cord on top of tables to keep it where you left it — aka not on the floor.
Best for Travels
Don't let your charging cable give you stress while on vacation! The Anker Powerline II has a Micro USB, USB-C, and Lightning connectors all in one device, so you can charge literally anything you're carry. We're talking laptops, tablets, and smartphones, which means you can leave all those separate cables at home. And since it's reinforced with a bulletproof fiber core, stuffing it in your luggage won't be the make-or-break.
Best Pack
Big families are rejoicing everywhere thanks to this five-pack of Lightning cables with various sizes. Similar to our Best Budget Buy choice, this has a nylon-braided shell to prevent the cord from tearing and getting tangled. Customers also say that these charge their phones quickly and the color is easy on the eyes.
