Anker PowerLine+ Lightning cable review: Everything you want in a Lightning cable

<article>
   <section class="page">
<p>The <a href="https://www.anker.com/products/variant/PowerLine%2B-3ft-Lightning/A8121021" rel="nofollow">Anker PowerLine+[/url] is basically everything you want in a Lightning cable. This premium, nylon-wrapped cable is super durable, comes in a variety of colors and lengths, and it won’t leave you broke. It’s not dirt cheap—the 3-foot cable costs about $14—but even the longest version is a couple of dollars cheaper than Apple’s Lightning cable. It’s not necessarily the cable to get if you’re on a rice-and-beans budget, but you’ll save over Apple’s cable and also get a better-looking and better-performing cable.</p><p>The PowerLine+ comes in four colors (<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerLine-Lightning-Braided-Charging/dp/B0177MQWC8" rel="nofollow">gold[/url], <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerLine-Lightning-Braided-Charging/dp/B0177MJ2GQ" rel="nofollow">gray[/url], <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerLine-Lightning-Braided-Charging/dp/B0177MEIHE" rel="nofollow">red[/url], and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerLine-Lightning-Braided-Charging/dp/B0177MJ2GQ" rel="nofollow">white[/url]) and four sizes (<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerLine-Lightning-Certified-iPhone/dp/B011QXQETK/" rel="nofollow">1 foot[/url], <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerLine-Lightning-Braided-Charging/dp/B0177MJ2GQ" rel="nofollow">3 feet[/url], <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerLine-Lightning-Durable-Charging/dp/B0177NSA9A/" rel="nofollow">6 feet[/url], and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerLine-Lightning-Charging-Certified/dp/B0177Q42DK" rel="nofollow">10 feet[/url]), and costs between $13 (for the 1-foot version) and $17 (for the 10-foot version). The slim, round cable is made with ultra-strong aramid fiber and is wrapped in a double-braided nylon sheath. The Lightning connector and the USB plug are housed in tough plastic, which is laser-welded to a more flexible rubbery material at the cable's stress point. </p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3243340/phone-accessories/anker-powerline-lightning-cable-review.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
