Third party Lightning/usb cables

[stevetiler]

Hi all,
Can anyone recommend reliable third party lightning usb cables?
Need to buy a few and the apple ones seem so expensive
I've obviously searched but there is so many I can't make a decision !!

Amazon have some which claim to be Apple cables without retail packaging for £6.99. Or Amazon Basics cables generally do what they say on the tin.

Or I use StarTech ones - they have a bit better strain relief into the Lightning plug IME (and come in - iirc - 3m lengths which are handy).

Thanks for that. Interesting the basics ones are £5.49 each but a pack of two is £12.99

I've had good experiences with Anker cables - in 4 years I've never had a problem with one yet.

Thanks Greg, I was looking at the Anker ones and they look good!

+ 1, this is what I am using and so far it is working fine.

I just picked up some anker usbc cables and they're solid.

Poundshop.

Poundshop.

My other half has this logic. Except the amount of time they last (plugs fail, cable sheath splits or internal cable breaks) she must spend twice as much in the long run.

Bought a couple of Ankers £4.99 each- seem good!

I had 5 for 6.99 from a seller called SMALLElectric.

Cant tell them apart from originals quality wise.
