Your iOS gadgets with the Lightning interface will easily be charged or synchronized with a PC, and thanks to the built-in MFI chip from Apple, your iPhone will certify this accessory without any complaints and you will not experience charging problems. The manufacturer claims that the wire can withstand more than 6,000 extension / flexion cycles without compromising performance.

Cables were bought for themselves, for their own, then earned, for everyday use, including in extreme conditions. The length of the cables is different, so the test will be ambiguous, but objective.
Why are Apple products uncomfortable? Nice cables, but vinyl tears on connectors and not only on connectors. This is how mine look like after a short period of use. 
.
Girbest's NoName cable was influenced by a chorus of rave reviews.
ANKER cables were recommended to me by my child:
-What are some good laces for an iPhone?
-And take ANKER, if you have money.
- Chickens don't bite money, give me two.
I put Apple cables in iPhone boxes.
All cables in a bunch
Anker PowerLine Lightning
The picture shows all the equipment, the box is covered with foil, like a pack of cigarettes.
Anker PowerLine + Lightning
The cable is fixed with Velcro inside the synthetic suede cover good quality, sewn with even stitches, closing with a magnetic button, wrapped in tissue paper with the Anker PowerLine + Lightning logo applied, sprinkled with a bunch of small unnecessary pieces of paper and packed in a neat box with color printing. In the case, you can remove the excess cable length, leaving only the ends of the required length with connectors outside.
I bought here:
Next, let's see what the manufacturer says about its cables and how PowerLine differs from PowerLine +. Anker markets its cables as premium products. The company is so confident in the quality of its products that it provides an 18-month warranty. Thanks to the use of large diameter wires with low resistance, PowerLine and PowerLine + provide the highest possible data transfer rate and load current of at least 2.4 A. Cables are Apple MFi (Made For iPhone, iPad, iPod) Certified, contain a unique authorization chip issued by the company Apple, which provides a 100% sync and charge guarantee with any Lightning device and adds $ 4 of the cost to each cable the company has to donate to Apple. Quality steel reinforced housings and 24K gold plated connector pins are present. The main feature of these cables, according to the ANKER marketers, is unprecedented strength: "5 times more durable than any other cable", "5000 cable bends and extensions without damage", "the strongest cable you have ever seen."
"And how is this strength achieved?" - you ask. And I will answer you: “Due to the fact that the cables are integrated with bulletproof kevlar fiber cords. That's it, no more, no less. "
The PowerLine + additionally has a double nylon braid on top, which provides 10,000 folds without damage, doubles the useful life compared to the PowerLine, and allows you to hang a load with a string of 80 kg. 
Devices and fixtures used for testing cables: 
I first measured the length like this: 
As a result: 
Measurement start (Power Bank Black Fox, current 1 A). 
End of measurements (Cable NoName with GearBest, current 2A) 
For control, however, I insured myself and took measurements using Apple's proprietary charging at a current of 1 A.
But the values are the same, with an error of 1%.
Final numbers: 
Let's try to draw some conclusions:
Proprietary (reference) cable.
After spending 10 minutes in Yandex Market, I found the cheapest offer for 1150 rubles. The cheapest way of buying for me is pickup, about 200 rubles more. The total cost of the cable is 1350 rubles, and we will focus on this price for comparison.
I noted the disadvantage of the Apple cable at the beginning of the review.
Cable with Girbest "1M Nylon Braided 8 Pin Sync Data Cable"
Let's start with the fact that it is not one meter. "Mylar foil shield to reduce EMI / RFI" was not found. The voltage drop in the cable is not acceptable in absolute or relative terms. During testing, the contact periodically disappeared, it was necessary to turn the connector 180 degrees.
Dismemberment and crying
I took two. One worked for 3 weeks and began to "fall off", wrote a review, set a unit, shot a video about the defect. They gave points for everything, the review was not published.
The wires are not the thinnest data - 0.35 mm (AWG27) twisted, power -0.45 mm (AWG25) twisted. Copper or not copper ...
Leaves the race and for recycling.
Anker PowerLine Lightning
The cable that upset. Yes, it will work, yes it will even hold 2.4 amperes, but the voltage drop per meter is very large. The thickness of the conductors is unlikely to correspond to those stated in the advertisement, apparently the Chinese comrades decided to save some money, the cord is short, why waste extra copper, it works the same. I believe that his longer brothers are made of different wires. Hope it is at least tough and bulletproof.
In principle, you can refrain from buying this cable, but I will not throw it away, there will be a use for it.
Anker PowerLine + Lightning
At first glance, expensive, 900 rubles, but if you compare it with Apple, then it seems not very much. But you can use different things ...
+ best in performance
+ strong
+ cheaper than Apple
+ quality materials and workmanship
+ functional case
AND
- expensive relative to most other cables
If I need a cable again, I'll take the Anker PowerLine +.

Anker is awesome. The only company in the world that makes accessories BETTER than Apple... There are really no analogs even among the original cables and chargers from the "apple".
I am sincerely glad that now the original Anker is possible. It is worth every ruble. Let me explain why.
Fact: even Apple originals are worse than Anker accessories
The biggest trouble modern smartphones- terrible, weak batteries. Therefore, you already have portable battery... Inside it is not clear what, and the USB port supplies only 70% of the nominal power.
Your battery worse than Anker.
And you also have a bucket of cables that regularly die or slowly charge your iPhone. This is why you still use Apple's original Lightning lanyard more often.
Your original Lightning cable worse than Anker.
I can continue about charging device ... How many do you have? They are all worse than ... well, you get the idea. Correct charging doubles the battery life, and a bad one reduces the life of the gadget by the same amount. Therefore, China is not an option at all. Especially if you're going to hook it to an iPhone.
And here on a white sparkling horse rides out - guessed – Mega Anker.
Why Anker is awesome and must be adored
I start with the main thing. This is not China.
The company was founded by one of the former engineers Google back in 2011 in California. He, like you, faced the problem of charging an iPhone: the battery lasts a maximum of a day, the original laces and chargers are expensive and work on the verge of normalcy.
The engineer knew that for this money, Apple could make accessories much better. Better, more powerful, even more functional! But in Cupertino they like to make gold laptops more, and innovations in charging are of little interest to them.
So the guy created Anker... Their goal is make chargers, batteries and cables of better quality than Apple and Samsung do.
And imagine. They have happened... In its categories, Anker is the # 1 brand on Amazon. Tens of thousands positive feedback and millions of orders, fans even in Russia and completely objective prices.
A dream come true: I gave up Apple branded chargers. I want you too. Therefore, I have prepared below that you can buy in Russia right now.
1. External batteries Anker PowerCore. Better Xiaomi
Actually, I met Anker a couple of years ago in search of the perfect external battery... Even then, these were the best "banks". Cheap, capacious, reliable and not in metal case(hello Chinese) who tends to scratch the entire contents of the bag.
Popular batteries begin to lose capacity after less than a year of use, not withstanding more than 200-300 cycles... And Anker batteries easily surpass 500 complete cycles without loss.
Anker's strength is also in USB power their portable batteries. If an unnamed battery from China can barely deliver 2.5 A to all connected devices (total - one smartphone), Anker branded power banks issue up to 3 A per output! Or up to 6 A - in total.
No voltage dips, without hitting the battery of the gadget. Moreover, all Anker batteries are equipped with an intelligent charging board that will not damage the battery.
These batteries also charge very quickly. Older models with crazy capacity do not support fast charging. But, for example, in Anker PowerCore 26800 mAh (A1277H11) 2 connectors at once, through which he replenishes the energy supply. And they work at the same time!
Power supplies with fast charging are still rare. And here is a full minced meat.
By the way, if you have Android smartphones with Quick Charge, you can find a suitable Anker from the line PowerCore +... For example, Anker PowerCore + 10050 mAh (A1310H1).
Unfortunately, Anker batteries are often counterfeited. Therefore, I give links to the store, where I take it myself:
External battery
2. Cases with built-in Anker Battery Case
When I hear someone complaining about their iPhone's battery life, I recommend this case, not Apple's original humpbacked freak.
Battery case unreal cool... Imagine: you can watch a couple of seasons of your favorite TV show on your smartphone with it! Or for 3 days not going to the outlet, if you call, write messages and watch memes in social networks.
With such a capacity, the case hardly fills the smartphone. Yes, the weight is increasing, but what did you think? It fits well in the hand, fits in the pocket. It's foolish to ask for more with accessories of this form factor.
Besides Anker Battery Case Made of durable polycarbonate, it does an excellent job of protecting your iPhone.
A price! The price is cheap! See for yourself:
Battery cover
3. Miniature solar power plant Anker Solar Lite
Most solar panels on sale are a waste of money. They hardly work: the charging current is very low, the quality is zero. What to want if they are made from defective solar panels?
Anker solar panel is the only one worth buying. It is from her that all Chinese counterparts... True, unsuccessfully.
Anker solar lite easily copes with charging any smartphone and even iPad. Still would: 5 V, 3 A at the exit! In this case, the dimensions of the panel are designed for the dimensions of a standard backpack. The weight is not much more than a good external battery.
The panel is not afraid of water, drops from low heights and hardly scratches. That is, it is devoid of all the disadvantages of popular solar chargers... There is even a pocket for a gadget.
All that remains is to buy the cable. Also the price - again freebie:
Solar battery charger
4. Almost eternal cables Anker Power Line
Anker wires are the only access of the company that surprises with the price. It seems expensive - but only until you try it yourself.
All elements of the charging "laces" are made according to a special order. There is nothing like it on the market anymore!
Attention. How Anker is made Power line – better cables than Apple:
- reinforced connectors;
- reinforced connector housings;
- Unique braided nylon fiber braid.
There are versions with micro-USB.
Anker engineers boast that this wire can withstand up to 6000 bends in half. Not only the braid, but also the veins. By comparison, Apple's original Lightning only holds 500 flexes.
Anker Lightning cables have no braiding issue. It does not fray, does not burst, does not get dirty. I bought it once and that's it, it will outlive several generations of iPhones.
One more important point: any original Anker wire supports fast charging and passes through itself current up to 3 A! it more than Apple's original Lightning by 2 meters.
Isn't it perfect? But you only need to buy the original, for example:
Cable
5. Mega-charging Anker PowerPort for all devices in the house
Each lace needs its own charger. This is how we are used to. But Anker engineers came up with a better option: desktop multi-port chargers.
That is, universal charging stations.
Yes, Ali is full of those. But they will never work stably:
- one of the ports often does not plow out of the box
- the capacity per port is less than the declared one
- devices take longer to charge than original charging
- it is impossible to fully charge two or three smartphones and a tablet at the same time.
And this is not only the case with the "Chinese". Almost all the pretentious multiport chargers that I bought did not even give 1A when the ports were fully loaded. And my iPad had to be plugged into the original charger.
Anker vows to provide 100% power to ports. And indeed it is. The assortment includes different models, but none will give less than 1A per port when fully loaded. It will never happen that I connected several devices, woke up in the morning, and some of them have not charged until now.
In short, I would not hesitate to buy Anker for the house, if you do not already have it. The options for these cool devices are incredible. For example:
