I use CarPlay and we have a charger for my spouses phone. Both cables are white and we constantly mixed up which was which.
I bought this to have a cable with a unique color so we know that is the CarPlay cable. I also like the stranded covering so we can tell by feel this is the right cable.
Love the durability of this cable, but it takes forever to charge my phone. 4 hours to go from 20% to 58%?!? That’s ridiculous. Perhaps it’s because I’m plugged into my computer’s USB port? Perhaps I got a dud? My 7 year old Anker (which I replaced with this) charges at same rate. Very disappointed.
100% Recommend this lightning cable. I have this in my car currently and the quality is amazing as the cord doesn't get shredded like the standard apple cables do in due time.
