It’s finally here, something I’ve been waiting and hoping for … a 3 in 1 charging cable. I love my gadgets … iPhone, GoPro, cameras, etc. And often times, I am carrying a power bank and several cables with me (in my backpack). The problem with that is, I needed to take along a Lightning, microUSB, and a USB C cable. That’s 3 cables of various lengths. And if I’m in a hurry or forget to put one back in my bag, then I’m out of luck for the day. Honestly, it’s just a pain in the butt!!! I’m tried those so called adapter tips but somehow, end up losing them.
Enter the Anker Powerline II 3 in 1 Charging Cable …
In the box : 3 in 1 charging cable with velcro wrap and the Happy / Not Happy Card
Pros :
*** Provides High Speed Charging : 2.4A for Lightning & MicroUSB and 3.0A for USB-C
*** Lightning is Apple MFi certified … so you’ll know that it’s compatible and will work with no “this accessory is not compatible” message
*** Has a 12,000 Bend Life Span
*** Comes with Lifetime Warranty
*** 3 in 1 cable (microUSB, Lightning, & USB-C)
*** Don’t have to carry 3 different cables
*** Less chance of forgetting to pack a cable
*** Easier to carry
*** Comes in 2 colors (Black or White)
*** Cable and tip adapters are strong
*** Nice resounding click when attaching the adapter to the microUSB tip
*** 3ft … perfect size for on the go … not too short nor too long
Cons :
*** White can get dirty faster
*** Not too crazy about the feel of the cable but that’s just my preference, after using braided cables
What I would like to see :
*** More color options … I would love a Lime Green
*** Perhaps a braided version? After using the braided cables from Anker, it’s hard to go back to the “retro” style cables
*** Longer versions for home or car usage
Overall, I love it. Now, I can carry one cable versus 3. Wrap the cable around the battery pack or stick them both in my little “money” pouch and I’m good to go. I don’t have to worry about forgetting a cable or losing it. And yay to no more adapters that gets lost. With this 3 in 1 cable, I don’t have to deal with all that. In fact, I love it so much that I already have a black one on order. Hubby might end up with this white one I love that it’s also MFi certified for my Apple devices. And who can forget the Lifetime Warranty? I don’t know of any company besides Anker that offers this. I am very happy with the cable and would recommend it to anyone needing a microUSB, Lightning, or USB-C cable.
