iPhone charging cables that work!

I seem to have a houseful of non-Apple chargers that are shite! They are temperamental or just don’t work at all.

Am I buying them from the wrong places or is it that only the genuine Apple ones are worth having?!

The Anker ones are fantastic - very hard wearing and guaranteed too, I use the two metre ones (in link) and have a couple of metre ones as back ups.

And meant to say I have found the Apple ones to be very flimsy and break very quickly, (and really overpriced of course) I did a bit of research and read that Anker are the favoured brand in the US and I have to say they are great, they feel really sturdy and well made and charge really quickly - Someone may come along with other ideas for you too.

I share your frustration - I bought a couple of long ones from Primark as I don’t find the apple ones are long enough (plus they’re expensive!) the Primark ones were only a few quid each but neither have worked at all Angry. I can’t be bothered to trek back for the sake of a couple of quid but it is irritating!

Amazon own brand works a treat. Extra long too.

The Amazon own brand braided ones are the best. Even better than Apple’s.

I bought a Juice USB to lightening cable from Argos over a year ago and it's still going strong. They do them in 1m 2m and 3m lengths and in funky colours too!

Amazon own, anker or I'm using a vibe one at the minute that's ridiculously long
