Hey @Shenoy and @professor
A question I’ve often thought about with these 3 in 1 cables is transfer/ speed.
This isn’t my area of expertise, but having a micro plug on the end of the main cable does that mean anything you use it for is limited to micro performance, I’m thinking more along the lines of the USBC end.
Am I being a plank or is this a thing?
I never used for data. ISTR it was a 10W maximum. For sure there are some downsides which is why not the only cable you’d have. Take for example a car, in our case there’s always at least 1 iPhone, so the car has a Lightning cable and this 3-in-1 cable, while in the living room there is always an USB-C device so there is a USB-C and this 3-in-1.
A sign this helps is when a cable is frequently being swapped.
A place I also found useful which does not apply now and won’t be for a year or two, is sat next to a passenger in an airplane or train, when they’d not bought a Powercore or a cable and you’r on different devices.
Today went to the store and saw a similar cable, while it was cheaper I’m sure it doesn’t compares to Anker’s quality
Might have been better @ikari04warrior!
To a point, I’ve found price has little bearing on quality.
True, but I think the price was $6, I’d rather just pay extra and also get a better warranty in case I need it.
With that being said I’ve bought products from no-name brands and they have worked it pretty good too lol
@paulstevenewing i have used (and still use) it as a backup cable for charging (rarely now) and sync iPhone and Samsung. It does it well, for both, helps reduce the.number of cables i need to carry, mostly an option for USB-C… Yet to come across any limitations with the MicroUSB
Nice deal! Thanks for sharing 
The warranty is a huge benefit buying from Anker.
Thankfully I’ve only had one faulty cable in my time.
I am yet to see a faulty product / or a failed product from Anker…
It’s a different thing that I had a bad experience with Roav Bolt… But that product itself wasa half baked, not to mention about it.
Well there are 3 costs involved.
Effort to decide what to buy and buy.
Effort to consume.
Effort to find and fix the problem.
For items $20-$40 our time to find and fix is more cost than anything else. So you ideally want something reliable and if it does fail its replaced with least effort. When you factor your time in, “buy cheap buy twice”.
I had items fail from Anker, it’s been a tiny % of units bought and all service warranty excellent. I count that as lowest TCO “total cost of ownership”.
Having said that, this 6 month old video does show there’s an unreasonable waiting time while quality testing is completed. I’d expect 1-3 month quality delay.
It was a PowerLine+ II lightning cable.
And strangely it just sits under the bed to plug into the iPad every few days. It got 0 stress, but guess thats how it goes.
I think Anker has gone too far into the can’t be bothered and use quality as an excuse corner. We’re talking 6 months behind.
I would love to see this in a 6 ft version.
This is one of my favorite cables! Although, i never seem to have the tip flipped around the correct way when I initially try to put it on. 
Nice cable and great deal!
So far I haven’t had issues with none of their products (knock on wood)
Perhaps they should have made it terminate instead with USB-C and the adapter then is C to Lightning and C to MicroB. Then you’d only need to guess less often?
I wonder how much this would raise the price. There would probably be a much smaller market for those c - micro adapters so higher cost, and the extra usb c ports they’d need to include in each adapter.
