Anker Unveils USB-C to Lightning Cables!

#28

I want to try the power cord version out. I hope that they will cost about same as the regular cables. Does anker have any details about the performance of these cables vs standard lightnight USB cables for iPhoneX, Xs, 8, etc?

I hope apple switches it would be so easy if everything was standardized at usb c then everything can charge as fast as usb c and less cables. Just kidding I’ll always have billions of cables but still the thought is a nice one

If this cable are cheaper then the apple one I’m for sure buying 2 of them cause i like how my lightning cable from anker has lasted longer compared to the apple lightning cables i had to buy one every 5-6 months

UPDATE:

These cables will start at $20.99, which is $2 more than what Apple charges.

Thoughts?!

Dang I thought Anker would be cheaper because usually apple is the the over priced cable of horrible quality

Apple’s USB-C to Lightning cable is actually not that bad… much better than their USB-A to Lightning cable, but same price.

But still usually I can count on Anker for a cheaper price. This mean I have to wait for them to send their discount codes when this thing goes on sale so I can buy it.

Not a bad price considering the build quality & warranty you get…plus after a few months they will hits the sales or come down in price…

Economies of scale I assume?

Yeah. Anker needs to keep price below what Apple charges, even on debut. I know they are setting themselves up to discount the cables later, but they risk losing clients early by charging more than apple.

Nah I doubt they will lose any clients to apple, these cables are more durable and come with a better warranty and most people will pay a premium for that

Pricier than I was expecting, but at least Anker’s will be braided. The extra $2 might be worth the extra durability.

That price might be for the regular PowerLine, non-braided option.
