Good quality basic lovely colour cable
This is a nylon braided good quality basic cable. This colour is gorgeous; satin like beigey gold.It charges fairly quick & is quite reliable.It's only downfall is that it's quite short. I don't know why they don't make these cables longer as a standard! It'd be useful.I've so far used it a few times but will update if I notice anything else about it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Far better than the original Apple cable and works perfectly in our cases for both iPads and iPhones
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 April 2018

Another brilliant Amazon Basics product; excellent value, intelligently made, perfect ergonomics and looks great.
I wanted a very compact Lightning connector to ensure compatibility with Otterbox case for iPhone 6sPlus, and Apple Smart case for iPad Air 2.
Some other cables are too chunky to fit in small case cutouts.
The cable is much easier to insert and remove than the original Apple cable, particularly with device in case, as connector housing and strain relief are longer and easier to grip.
Liked colour of Champagne coloured anodised case of amplifier as it blended in better with stone and paint in the room, so nice to have that colour available from Amazon, as opposed to white.

Excellent braided cable from AmazonBasics. Over time I've bought several of these and they've proven to be excellent value for money - such that I now look no further. They work well, wear well and the cable is of a good length. Now that they come in various colourways they look good too. Presently being used with iPhone 6 and 7 with perfect results. Well packaged with excellent Amazon delivery.

i have been using this charger for about 3 weeks now because previously, i had bought chargers form apple, but they have ripped because of the poor material. bare in mind, their normal charger are quite expensive anyways so it really helped. since these are more durable than the normal apple ones are, you can bend them more without having to worry about if the wire or cable is gonna break / rip or not. have a splendid day/!!

AmazonBasics do it again - perfect example of why where possible, i look to purchase from AB's before any other manufacturer including some proprietary brands.

For the most part, you receive perfectly acceptable goods, keenly priced with the knowledge, if anything should go wrong, Amazon are on hand to replace or resolve without too many hoops to jump through.

Due to the cable being thicker than the average apple cable, this is lasting way longer than any other cable I've purchased. It's also longer than the standard apple cable so thats an added bonus. Ideal for those who are travelling a lot and wind their cables up for easy transport.

I had this for 3 months, thought it was really good, the wire was really sturdy and didn't fray like the normal ones from Apple. After 3 months, I put my phone to charge on it and it says it's charging but my phone percent doesn't go up, if anything it goes down. Not really impressed...

I bought this cable after my Apple cable brought and I've had this for a few months, the cable is braided and feels less flimsy than the default Apple charger you get out the box with your iPhone. If you need a replacement cable for your iPhone or iPad, look no further and get this cable!

Il cavo è robusto e certificato, cercavo un cavo lightning senza adattatore micro-usb da tenere in macchina ed è che trovo esattamente quello che fa al caso mio!

Anche strappazzandolo, il cavo è protetto dal nylon pertanto risulta indistruttibile!
Carica bene, non da problemi e viene subito riconosciuto sia da pc che da altri strumenti per connetterlo.
Consigliato!

Metti mi piace se ritieni sia una descrizione breve e concisa :)

Sehr gutes Kabel, besonders die Farbe ist schön. Lädt normal-schnell wie ein Original Kabel auch. Es ist aus einem robusten Material und hält daher mit Sicherheit länger, als ein Originales IPhone Ladekabel.

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )Verified Purchase
D’une longueur standard de 90 cm, il remplacera avantageusement le câble Apple d’origine.
En effet, le gainage en nylon tressé, d’ailleurs très agréable au toucher, assure :
- une bien meilleure protection du câble lui-même
- la garantie de ne pas subir de désagréables emmêlements intempestifs
Le sertissage est quant à lui irréprochable, la solidité est certaine. C’est souvent de ce côté que les câbles se fragilisent.
La couleur or est beaucoup plus sobre et élégante que sur la photo de présentation, par trop clinquante.
Cela fait environ 2 ans que j’utilise des câbles USB A / Lightning Amazon Basics, et je n’ai jamais constaté aucun souci, que ce soit au niveau de la gaine ou du sertissage.

Enfin, cerise sur le gâteau, il est équipé d’une petite attache velcro assortie en accord avec la couleur de la gaine nylon, très pratique pour rangement et/ou transport. C’est suffisamment rare pour être souligné.

Que demander de plus pour ce prix ?

À votre disposition pour toute question, j'y répondrai avec plaisir. Et si ce commentaire vous a été utile, aidé ou paru intéressant, merci de cliquer sur le bouton "Oui", cela m’encouragera à en rédiger d’autres.
