How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we donโ€™t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsHonestly Love Anything Anker
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on May 28, 2023
Anker does tend to be a bit more expensive but in the long run is very much worth it. I have a multitude of Anker products from cables to battery packs to chargers and they all work flawlessly. The quality of their products is always top notch, and this cable isn't any different.

If you need a new cable, I definitely recommend this one.

3.0 out of 5 starsCable is great, but Q&A and Comments are WRONG
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on March 29, 2023
Be very careful about purchasing Anker cables on Amazon. The Q&A and the comments are not always for the cable in the listing (even when it's sold by Amazon). I purchased the Anker Powerline+ II Lightning Cable to use with CarPlay and discovered that, contrary to the Q&A, it is a charging-only cable. It does not deliver data and thus will not work with CarPlay.

I blame both Amazon and Anker for this problem. Anker's products are great, but you cannot be sure you are getting what you need.

5.0 out of 5 stars High-quality cord, fast charging
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on May 14, 2023
Size: 10ftColor: BlackVerified Purchase
I looked at several other chargers on Amazon, all of which were less expensive, but buyers reported problems on pretty much all of the cheap ones, including having the tip break off in the phone! One of those bad reviewers said they were going back to using this brand, so I researched this brand and read great things. The cord arrived quickly, charges my phone quickly, seems to be well-made and durable, and so far no problems at all. Love it!

3rd 1 of these I purchased. A few tears and 2 phones later the other 2 abused 10 foot cords charge great& look new. Got this 1 for my wife who needed a good 1 after a series of cheap 1s landed in the trash. You donโ€™t save $ buying cheap junk that needs to be replaced

Highly recommend this cord for younger children for charging iPads. They are long enough to be able to charge while in use snd still move around a little without disconnecting

5.0 out of 5 stars A cheaper, higher-quality alternative to Apple's own cables
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on April 8, 2023
Size: 10ftColor: BlackVerified Purchase
Over the years, I've owned a wide range of Anker-branded charging cables and have always been impressed by their quality.

This 10-foot Lightning cable is about as long as you'll ever need. Its connectors are well made and should withstand years of daily use.

I've never experienced any compatibility issues with a variety of chargers and Apple devices. Buy with confidence - this cable is better than Apple's own lightning cables in every possible way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lasted THREE years - Anker support is amazing!
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on September 26, 2022
Size: 10ftColor: BlackVerified Purchase
I used it every single night for 3 years on my bed to charge my phone. My outlet is far away from my pillow so I needed a long cable to comfortably charge and use my phone at the same time. Itโ€™s the perfect length and was extremely durable.

(Extension cable for power outlet poses a fire hazard so I felt safer with USB power reaching over flammable contents of my bed).

Bought this on June, 2019. As of September, 2022 the actual cable is intact with no damage at the bending points (where most cables incur damage). The cable finally stopped working because the lightning side of it had eroded connector pins. If it wasnโ€™t for it, this cable wouldโ€™ve easily lasted 5 years.

But fret not, Anker support is amazing and once I sent them an email detailing the issue, they stood behind their product and sent me a replacement.

Charging power didnโ€™t matter as much to me as I just wanted to slow trickle charge my phone overnight. Modern iPhones have special safety measures that allow you to charge overnight and leave your phone plugged in, so I wasnโ€™t too worried about battery drain. It still charges fast enough with a regular Anker Power IQ charging brick. For higher wattage you should be using USB C anyway, so I donโ€™t see this as a point of contention.

The nylon braid is super durable and feels sturdy. Because of this special construction, the cable will only twist in certain way before you feel resistance. I suggest you lay out the cable flat and donโ€™t try to charge with a forced twist. Also avoid bending in the close corners to prevent damage near the connectors.

I took good care of the cable and got it to last as long as it did. I had bought the same exact cable once before in September 2018 and used it for a couple weeks on a road trip. My friends used it without care and it gave away by June 2019, requiring me to purchase the recent one that I just got replaced.

Today (September 26, 2022) is day 1 of using the current replacement that Anker sent (it arrived in 2 days!). By the time I give my next update I think iPhones will be switching to USB-C to USB-C cables anyway.

Overall, great cable if you need a long cable for bed-side usage. For any issues, always reach out to Anker and theyโ€™ll do right by you.

I have been very happy with this cable. I like the connectors more than the official Apple cables due to the much improved boots and strain relief. The exterior braiding also seems much more durable.
