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

Testing conducted by Apple in August 2023 using preproduction iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max units and software and accessory Apple USB-C Power Adapter (20W Model A2305). Fast charge testing conducted with drained iPhone units. Charging time varies according to settings and environmental factors; actual results will vary. 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. 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.

iPhones have long supported faster charging with a 12W iPad adapter, and Apple improved on that rate by introducing fast charging via USB Power Delivery (PD) with the release of the iPhone 8 in 2017. Most newer iPhones, such as the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14, can charge at between 25W and 27W. Testing conducted by Apple in August 2019 using pre-production 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).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. 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.

File transfer speeds, however, don’t follow this rule. The Lightning-to-USB cable from Apple moves data at 480Mbits/sec. This figure applies to any cable with a Lightning connector, regardless of what connector sits at the other end – even Lightning-to-USB-C cables are limited by the Lightning connector itself. I travel a lot. The YUNGSONG Lightning to USB Cables are constructed using aluminum alloy sheathing and braided nylon for actual reinforcement. They feel much sturdier than standard iPhone cables. Testing conducted by Apple in August 2021 using preproduction iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max units and software and accessory Apple USB-C Power Adapter (20W Model A2305). Put simply, MFI Certification (Made for iPhone) is a standardised testing process that many third-party or officially licensed iPhone charging cables must go through before hitting the market, ensuring that they are safe for use. Basically, if you see this symbol on a product, you know that it has been rigorously tested ready to be plugged in for years to come. How can I spot a fake cable?

What is the best USB-C cable for the iPhone 15?

Testing conducted by Apple in February 2020 using preproduction iPhone SE (2nd generation) units and software and accessory Apple USB-C Power Adapters (18W Model A1720 and 30W Model A1882). The majority of chargers on the market use silicon semiconductors. Gallium nitride (GaN) is a relatively new alternative to silicon that offers a lot of benefits: GaN chargers are smaller, more efficient, and require fewer components than silicon chargers. They’re also more expensive. Ultimately, traditional silicon chargers are fine for most people. If you’re looking for the absolute slimmest option on the market, however, it's likely to be a GaN charger.

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. Testing conducted by Apple in August 2023 using preproduction iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max units and software and accessory Apple USB-C Power Adapter (20W Model A2305).Fast-charge testing conducted with drained iPhone units. Charge time varies with settings and environmental factors; actual results will vary. If you plan to charge the iPhone, iPad Pro, and laptop, you'll want cables with a 100W charge capacity or higher. Shopping for a new Lightning cable sounds easy. After all, the principal philosophy is often just finding a wire with a Lightning connector on one end and some type of connector on the other. That's usually good enough for some, but there are some important factors to keep in mind. An Apple standard since 2005, MFI certification ensures that your Apple product has been constructed following the highest construction, durability, and safety standards. It also provides proper data syncing. Any MFi-certified cable is less likely to trigger error messages or cause your devices to malfunction.The right USB-C cable for you will depend on your iPhone 15 model, what kind of power you're looking for, and what other device compatibilities you need. 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.

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. Testing conducted by Apple in August 2021 using pre-production iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max units and software, and accessory Apple USB-C Power Adapter (20W Model A2305).Next, take time to assess your needs. Do you frequently charge multiple devices simultaneously? If so, buying a charger with multiple ports probably makes sense. Do you have AirPods or an Apple Watch to charge? Look into a wireless charging pad (but expect slower speeds). Stage 2 - Saturation: This is the phase where the voltage has reached its peak and current drops down. To access and use all Apple Card features and products available only to Apple Card users, you must add Apple Card to Wallet on an iPhone or iPad that supports and has the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.

You must keep a few things in mind when shopping for a fast charger. First and foremost, you need to make sure it supports PD.An adapter with a USB-C port is also essential for the fastest charging speeds.
