Product Information

At this point, I suppose I am juggling bend lifespan, cost, and how the warranties factor in and potentially “cover up” the other two former factors. Well a shorter and thicker cable will be the most efficient but in some contexts the charger and device may make it irrelevant. PowerLine III’s curved, stainless-steel edges are designed to perfectly match the exterior of high-end phones and laptops. Our chargers and accessories don't just power up your devices, they offer the tech experience you want with zero restrictions.

It's a small detail, but we prefer this organizational feature more than the Velcro tie included with some other cables. I’m interested to see how long the coating will stay in place, but I haven’t been using this cable long enough yet to find out.The issue is that USB evolves, device evolves and most cables you get now will end up unused in a few years.

A maximum output of 100W allows for high-speed charging to a wide range of devices including phones, tablets, and laptops. As far as I can tell, I have not ran across data or reviews that substantially suggest the Powerline cables are any better than another in the aspect of charging speed and data transfer–only bend lifespan, warranty duration, and of course, cost. I have been using multiple versions of the Anker Cable including the 1st generation, 2nd gen and the Powerline Plus (+).

MFi: MFi certification and strict quality testing ensure your Apple devices are charged safely, at their fastest possible speed. Ohm’s Law, the resistance of a cable causes a Voltage drop, so if you squirted 5V in one end at the charger and say 4. I liked it so far, it does the job and this Powerline 3 would be my last cable with lightning connector as it may live beyond my iPhones and iPad. Personally, I am aware USB-C cables enable faster charging, but I do not have any USB-C wall chargers, or anything for that matter, that uses USB-C–and I am not sure if I am prepared to make the jump if using USB-A is going to be more versatile for me to use in the long run. Though there are several reviews and blogs present, the only key difference I am noticing is the bend lifespan–with the other features nearly identical.
