Product Information

An Apple standard since 2005, MFI certification ensures that your Apple product has been constructed following the highest construction, durability, and safety standards. It also provides proper data syncing. Any MFi-certified cable is less likely to trigger error messages or cause your devices to malfunction. Choosing an adapter with more power is a good idea because the newest iPhones can benefit from that extra juice. For instance, the iPhone 13 Pro can achieve wired charging speeds of 20W or higher, while reports indicate the iPhone 13 Pro Max can reach speeds up to 27W with the right charger. Switching from a lower wattage charger to a higher wattage charger typically boosts the rate at which a charge is pushed into a device's battery. This depends on circuitry in both the charger and the device. The higher the wattage, the higher the charging rate, or "speed" if you will. Testing conducted by Apple in August 2019 using pre-production iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max units and software, and accessory Apple USB-C Power Adapters (18W Model A1720, 29W Model A1540, 30W Model A1882, 61W Model A1947 and 87W Model A1719).

Testing conducted by Apple in August 2023 using preproduction iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max units and software and accessory Apple USB-C Power Adapter (20W Model A2305).Fast-charge testing conducted with drained iPhone units. Charge time varies with settings and environmental factors; actual results will vary. However, USB 3.1 Gen 2 and USB 3.2 Gen 2 data connectivity standards are the same, also known as SuperSpeed+, delivering 10 Gbps. Products labeled under either specification should work on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone Pro Max at native speeds, especially if they are USB-IF certified. Testing conducted by Apple in August 2023 using preproduction iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max units and software and accessory Apple USB-C Power Adapter (20W Model A2305). Fast charge testing conducted with drained iPhone units. Charging time varies according to settings and environmental factors; actual results will vary. USB Power Delivery: Every mobile phone has a charging cable that uses USB---even the Lightning cables for Apple's iPhones have a USB connection on the other end. USB 2.0, which has been a common specification for two decades, has a maximum power output of 2.5W. Because there's a requirement for USB ports to deliver more power, the USB-PD standard was created. USB-PD has a maximum output of 100W and is used for a wide array of devices, including most flagship mobile phones. All USB 4 devices will include USB-PD technology, which will hopefully help standardize this. The most durable iPhone lightning cables usually feature a combination of matte-textured rubber, aluminum alloy sheathing, and braided nylon, making them stretch and pull-resistant. Remember reinforced connectors and strong insulation, which lengthen the cable’s lifespan. When traveling, this is a must. Less durable options are typically made of plastic and PVC, which tend to fray and wear out.

Testing conducted by Apple in February 2022 using preproduction iPhone SE (3rd generation) units and software and accessory Apple USB-C Power Adapter (20W Model A2305). Shopping for a new Lightning cable sounds easy. After all, the principal philosophy is often just finding a wire with a Lightning connector on one end and some type of connector on the other. That's usually good enough for some, but there are some important factors to keep in mind. Testing conducted by Apple in August 2022 using pre-production iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max units and software, and accessory Apple USB-C Power Adapter (20W Model A2305). Fast charge testing conducted with drained iPhone units. Charging time varies according to settings and environmental factors; actual results will vary. The right USB-C cable for you will depend on your iPhone 15 model, what kind of power you're looking for, and what other device compatibilities you need.

The charging process can be divided into three parts. Take a look at the "Figure 1: Charge stages of lithium-ion" chart in this article by Battery University for more technical details. Briefly, here's what it shows:

OtterBox USB-C

Testing conducted by Apple in August 2021 using pre-production iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max units and software, and accessory Apple USB-C Power Adapter (20W Model A2305). No one wants to plug a dodgy cable into their brand new iPhone only to cause the device serious internal or physical damage, or even worse, lose their files. It could even be a fire hazard, and no amount of money-saving is worth torching your home. Samsung Adaptive Fast Charging: This standard is used by Samsung devices, particularly their Galaxy line. This standard has a maximum power output of 18W and automatically changes charging speeds to preserve the battery's longevity. File transfer speeds, however, don’t follow this rule. The Lightning-to-USB cable from Apple moves data at 480Mbits/sec. This figure applies to any cable with a Lightning connector, regardless of what connector sits at the other end – even Lightning-to-USB-C cables are limited by the Lightning connector itself.

iPhones have long supported faster charging with a 12W iPad adapter, and Apple improved on that rate by introducing fast charging via USB Power Delivery (PD) with the release of the iPhone 8 in 2017. Most newer iPhones, such as the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14, can charge at between 25W and 27W. Meanwhile, when choosing a charging cable, durability is key. Nylon braiding reduces tangling; look for reinforcements where the cable meets the connector, as that’s where cables tend to fray. I need extra fast charging. The Quntis Fast Charger and Lightning to USB-C Cable offers fast charging and data transfer speeds. OnePlus Warp Charging: OnePlus uses the proprietary Warp Charging standard, which charges their devices up to 30W. Instead of increasing voltage like most other standards, Unlike other options on this list, full-speed 30W charging is also available.The majority of chargers on the market use silicon semiconductors. Gallium nitride (GaN) is a relatively new alternative to silicon that offers a lot of benefits: GaN chargers are smaller, more efficient, and require fewer components than silicon chargers. They’re also more expensive. Ultimately, traditional silicon chargers are fine for most people. If you’re looking for the absolute slimmest option on the market, however, it's likely to be a GaN charger. Testing conducted by Apple in February 2020 using pre-production iPhone SE (2nd generation) units and software, and accessory Apple USB-C Power Adapters (18W Model A1720 and 30W Model A1882). I travel a lot. The YUNGSONG Lightning to USB Cables are constructed using aluminum alloy sheathing and braided nylon for actual reinforcement. They feel much sturdier than standard iPhone cables.

Testing conducted by Apple in August 2019 using preproduction iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max units and software and accessory Apple USB-C Power Adapters (18W Model A1720, 29W Model A1540, 30W Model A1882, 61W Model A1947, and 87W Model A1719). Wireless isn’t always as fast, but it’s more convenient. Most wireless iPhone chargers deliver 5W or 7.5W and work through most iPhone cases. Don’t just look at the price. Look at what you want to do now, and what you might want to do next year. For example, an 18W charger will fast charge your iPhone, but it’s not powerful enough to run a MacBook Pro. A more powerful one may be a better option for your future tech arsenal.Testing conducted by Apple in February 2022 using pre-production iPhone SE (3rd generation) units and software, and accessory Apple USB-C Power Adapter (20W Model A2305). Testing conducted by Apple in August 2022 using preproduction iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max units and software and accessory Apple USB-C Power Adapter (20W Model A2305). Fast-charge testing conducted with drained iPhone units. Charge time varies with settings and environmental factors; actual results will vary. If you have the iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Plus or only need a charging cable with your iPhone 15 Pro, any Charging/USB 2.0 cables on this list are fine. The best overall option for iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. It has a high data transfer rate and 100W of power.
