Customers like the sturdiness of the cable. They say it's very bendable, tough, and holds its shape when bent.

Braided design works better than plastic but keep an eye on the battery charge indicator.
I like the braided design as compared to the plastic one which started to wear out fairly quickly. I bought a heat gun and some shrink tubing to use on them, like another customer did. Shrink tubing has prevented damage to the braided cable so far, but I am getting audible tones and if I don’t pay attention to the battery symbol on my iPhone, the charge will drop. I rarely get the incompatible message, or I just haven’t been able to catch it yet as often as I have with other offbrand cables. This occurred after only having used the reinforced new cable for a few days. I get the feeling this is common among all cables. I am using these to replace worn out Apple cables. My son said his Apple cables wear out quite frequently. I still like the braided reinforced cables because they do not curl and wear out as fast as the others. Though they still did not last long. It is a wonder that any cable would, considering all the stress it has to go through. Plus I bought the shorter cable which obviously doesn’t have as much to curl up and kink. I’ll be glad when Amazon designs and sells a wireless connection between the Android/iPhone and battery. Then no more cables to wear out.April 16, 2018. Three months since I have bought the cables. I have been using one consistently every day and considering all the wear and tear it goes through, I guess I can’t expect the cable to last forever. My iPhone just recently started giving errors and showing the battery symbol has been disconnected. Time to switch to the second table I bought. Let’s see how long this one lasts. I usually carry my Anker power bank in my back pocket connected with this cable to my iPhone that I carry in my front pocket. The cable does tend to get twisted, but I do try to keep it straight. This cable also has the same shrink tubing that I applied to the first table when I bought them.

I've been purchasing AmazonBasics lightning chargers for my iPhones and iPads for a while now, mainly due to the price. Honestly we probably have about seven of these things around the house, the catch being it is partly due to the connector always eventually detaching from the cable. I'm willing to concede that part of the problem might lie in the use of an OtterBox Defender Series case, as anyone familiar with these cases can tell you that your lightning port essentially becomes recessed. It's hard (especially if you have large hands) to solidly grab the base of the plug to remove it from the phone, and I'm sure the strain of a tug without a solid grip on the plug end doesn't help as far as the end separation.

Enter the Nylon Braided cord. I cannot say for certain that plug separation is a thing of the past, as I have not owned the cable long enough. What I CAN say is that the plug IS larger and allows for a much better grip. The cable itself is also much better protected, which is a plus if you own a curious cat that likes to attack "string." Note: I do not leave any cords plugged in where the cat can get them when unattended. She will not get zapped. My point is just that wear and tear on the cord is lessened as well as the plug. Considering (at least at my time of purchase) that we're talking about a $2 difference in prices, I'd recommend giving one of these a try, especially if you have a rugged case that recesses your lightning plug.

As many Apple device owners know, the lightning charges they made are garbage. We've all had to replace them, because at some point in their lives, they decide to quit charging our devices. I refused to keep purchasing charging cables that would ultimately fail, so I went the cheaper route and tried several other cables from various Amazon resellers. Each one would fail anywhere between 6-9 months. I figured I had spent enough money wasting it on these cables, and thought I would give the AmazonBasics brand a chance. I was glad I did. This cable is very sturdy. While more expensive, the price is still on par with others. Here is the thing that Amazon did best. They reinforced the cable where the USB plug is at and where the lightning charger is at. This is one of the most common failure points in nearly all Apple charging cables.

Pros: It just works. No errors. Reinforced cable, makes it bend without breaking.
Cons: Slightly more expensive

LOVE these pink cables. I have them all over my house, in my car and have given them as gifts. Each cable also comes with its own mini velcro wrap to keep your cords neatly organized. The cables are durable and I haven't had any problems with any of them yet, I have purchased about 12 of them so far and we haven't had any issues with fraying or power with them yet. I highly recommend these thick, durable and handy cables. I also LOVE the pink color of the cable.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 24, 2022
I bought a 1.8m cable back in October 2nd 2020 and it works perfectly fine. I leave this cable in the living room for anyone to use as well as visitors. The length has been very practical and useful for us, therefore I bought another cable in August 2021 for my room and that one is still working as well. Worth the money as it is hard to find good reliable charges and most will only last for a few months with extra care but this one has proven to be very durable as well as the material which allows it to last even longer. I have recommended this cable to many others and they have had the same experience as I have .
Definitely recommend.

Reviewed in Spain on December 22, 2021
Estaba un poco cansada de que los cables originales de Apple se me rompieran por la unión entre el conector y el cable. Son carísimos para que se rompan tanto no creéis?
Pues este de momento funciona a la perfección. Al ser de Nylon no se dobla ni se pela el plástico del cable, así que ya de entrada durará mucho mas. Además lleva un velcro para poder atarlo sin que se estropee y quede recogido. Por el precio de un original , compras unos cuantos de estos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly great quality at a affordable price
Reviewed in Canada on July 12, 2020
This AmazonBasics cable is great. It's exactly what you would expect which is a lightning to USB-A ("regular USB") so there's not much to get wrong here. The cable works as intended and am currently using for charging iPads and a macbook mouse and it does the job.

While it is "just a cable" I have to say I'm impressed with AmazonBasics quality on this particular product. The braided cable seems durable and makes it feel like a premium product and the actual connection heads seem to be equally of good quality so I am not worried it will break within the normal day to day use cases.

Like any other AmazonBasics product the device is very fairly priced for a solid quality cable. The packaging is minimal - basically a small thin cardboard box - which is nice (no need to produce any extra garbage) and I believe that's also how AmazonBasics can save money to provide low prices on these cables.

Finally regarding the "Rose Gold" color, it is nice and exactly matches the picture so no surprises there either.

So to conclude: good quality product, seems durable, affordable price, color matches what's shown in the picture, minimum packaging/garbage and works as expected.
