Review: Anker Powerline II USB-C Lightning cable is cheaper and more durable than Apple's

Apple has finally opened the floodgates on third-party USB-C to Lightning cables, and the first one we tested — the Anker Powerline II USB-C to Lightning cable — is not just less expensive than Apple's, but also more durable.

PowerLine's first generation boasted 5x the durability of other cables, but PowerLine II Dura takes it to the next level. It tolerates being bent over 12,000 times and lasts an enormous 12x longer than other cables. MFi certification means total peace of mind because PowerLine II Dura is completely Apple authorized. Designed to work flawlessly with iPhone, iPad, iPod or any device with a Lightning port.
