Good quality cable and I have had no issues whatsoever. There were a few things I noticed however.
Pros:
- I like braided cables. You get a better quality feel and this is no exception. The cable feels heavy, sturdy.
- The connectors do not look nor feel cheap. I looked at the standard Apple cable that came with my phone and I cannot say that their connectors look any better than these. I have noticed in other reviews before I bought these cables that some had fraying at the connectors themselves. Sometimes I wonder if people are being way too rough with them and expect the world. I have also read where people complain of the blades breaking all the way off. I think this is an Apple design issue; the connector blades of the lightning are really small. Put some pressure against it, yea they will break. I read one review where a guy said "my connector broke off in my phone, cheap cable...." yet he says later that he falls asleep in bed and lays on it. use your head when researching; that is just stupid.
- If you are a massive organizer fan, the little pouch that comes with these cables will allow you to control extra cable length or for you to wrap it up when throwing it in your travel bag to negate damage. For how weak the lightning design is, that is not a bad idea actually. If you go on Apple's website and look at the reviews of THEIR cables, you know what I mean. It is either the greatest money making scheme (selling replacement cables) or just poor design.
Cons:
- I like the protection of the braided jacket but it makes the cable stiff. I do like the way Apple's standard cable is real flexible but not the way it frays and breaks down at the connector. This Anker cable can certainly bend and turn but you will notice the difference in flexibility.
I would certainly buy them again at this point. I want to see what time and use does for these. If i notice anything crazy, I will update this.
