Chargers make a difference not cables

Why should they?
Some know about some not.

How will that charger send that power to your phone?
Through cablesā€¦Cable is the main factor which will determine how fast your phone will charge.
Different cables have different ohmic resistances and thus will throttle the current and/or voltage to maintain Ohmā€™s law (V=IR).

Cables do matter and Anker is a very trusted brand that you canā€™t go wrong with . Glad you found Anker

#27

More durable I guess, but Iā€™ve never broken a single Apple cable so I wouldnā€™t know much.

#28

I would say yes, definitely Anker is excellent with all they make. Their cables are a tad shorter and a tad more expensive then apple regular cables. But they have a LIFETIME warranty. Most companies donā€™t do that with anything. And I love their portable chargers. Iā€™ve had a anker portable charger since about 2015-2016.

So if you want a tech wire, portable charger company. Anker is the way to go!

#29

I would disagree with this statement. Some to their products are less then mediocreā€¦

#31

I misspoke. Iā€™ve only had cables, wall plugs and portable chargers and I only just recently found out they make other things

#32

The majority of there products are excellent, and I would highly recommend. The only one I donā€™t like is the Roav bolt. I recommend speakers, earbuds, flashlights, batteries, chargers, cables etc.

#33

Yes

Ive used the
Amperes app
On my I phone and test have surprised me on chargers and cables

test yourself is my answer also heat plays into the equation

#34

Cables do make a difference

#35

No.
This one could last for years if there will be no short cut before. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Looks like a tree branch lol

I remember those cables were used in old houses.
The isolation was textile braided
Ankerā€™s cables are nylon braided now
Thatā€™s a progress! :grinning:

#38

Who, that looks like old knob and tube wiring. Highly dangerous stuff in this day and age

#39

I think cable tech has slowed down majorly in the last few years.

You still need thick oxygen free copper to make a decent cable, and the longer the thicker. Yet optical is about but itā€™s only used on audio ā€¦ @professor @tank @AnkerTechnical why is this?

#40

I think cables are good enough, itā€™s a build quality topic.

Where is see slow innovation is common standards of high power charging. The fork of Quick Charge, PD, etc

#41

These type of cables were used for 220V power in houses.
I was often living i a flat in such an old house in Munich and have seen and handled those.
If you dont touch its fine.
But if ā€¦ you are lostā€¦ ā€œcrumblingā€ā€¦:worried:

But today all got restored.
New lines often in the old cable ducts.

In the day, I used to replace cables for new in old garages/workshops, was simple then and allowed.

Now to replace cables you need local council approval and a qualified electrician.

Under new rules, you can add an extra light or socket without such control.

Once or twice Iā€™ve found out a dead wire is still live :zap::electric_plug:hahahaha :wink: after once itā€™s not too bad, itā€™s the amps that are bad for you
