Overview
A 2-pack of 6-foot MFi-certified Lightning cables in double-braided nylon, built for Lightning-port iPhones from the 6s Plus through the 14 lineup. Each cable carries an Apple C48 connector for full compatibility charging and syncing.
Anker markets this cable on bend durability rather than charging speed: an Apple C48 plug for certified compatibility, and a braided jacket rated to survive over 12,000 90-degree bends. That durability focus matters more for a charging cable than raw specs, since fraying at the connector is the usual failure point on cheaper cords.
- MFi-certified Apple C48 Lightning plug
- 6 ft double-braided nylon cord
- Rated for 12,000+ 90-degree bends
- 2-pack, works with iPhone 6s Plus through 14 series
Who it's for
Fits anyone with a Lightning-port iPhone, 6s Plus through 14 series and equivalents, who wants a spare cable at each end of the house or bag. Not for iPhone 15 or newer, which moved to USB-C.
