If I had an iPhone I’d buy them Am I the only one who wants to see more colors? Lol

They look awesome! I need to replace the one my wife took for her car.

Nhi · March 25, 2019, 5:59am

I’m not digging the new design. I prefer the clean smooth look of the older cables.

I’m with @Nhi I prefer the clean look of the older cables.

It’s not a bad design I’m kinda digging it.

Although I wouldn’t go for the white one as I already have a PowerLine II in white and on the lightning connector and the cable below it’s gone a weird discoloured yellowish.

The “fluting” (dict) doesn’t look so god.

These aren’t a unique design… I’ve seen that before…

Oggyboy · March 26, 2019, 3:59pm

@AnkerTechnical when will these be in the UK please?

I need to skip the power line version and go for the Powerline Select + now with some urgency

EDIT, I thought they were both USB C but they’re not. The Select + cable is USB A

Oggyboy · March 25, 2019, 10:55am

I do wonder if having that design on the connector will allow for more bend and then be more susceptible to breakage.

A lifetime warranty does mitigate that worry slightly but ultimately you want durability too.
Who wants to be returning cables frequently?

The other point i have is.
Why only release the 3’ Version? Surely you can ship 6’ at the same time. It just frustrates users who need longer cables. C’mon Anker.

Macgyver15 · March 25, 2019, 11:41am

I totally agree with this as i only use 6 ft cables as due to poor plug placement the 3 ft ones would never be sufficient.

Tank · March 25, 2019, 11:33am

6 inch? You mean 6 foot right?

Macgyver15 · March 25, 2019, 11:40am

Whoops!! My bad Correcting my post now

Insider · March 25, 2019, 11:43am

Interesting point as there’s no bend count included in the description…

Oggyboy · March 25, 2019, 12:18pm

The powerline + version of cables have always come with a long thick sturdy moulding to protect that area. I’m not sure these will stand the test of time.

Chiquinho · March 25, 2019, 1:59pm

I was thinking the same.
Looks some kind of fragile.

dicejedi · March 25, 2019, 3:07pm

I would love to test one and see if it endures my daughters wrath. I am still a big fan of the PowerLine+ cables… Don’t know why but that double brading is just eye catching!

Shenoy · March 25, 2019, 3:31pm

Love the cable looks and design, mostly the additional protection near the cable ends, increases cable life with wear and tear.

rtena · March 25, 2019, 5:06pm

Still the same price as the Apple ones…

Nhi · March 25, 2019, 8:05pm

Exactly what I was thinking. I would think it would allow for weaker points, thus, causing kinks and bending.
