Fantastic quality charging cable

Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2020

This is a great quality charging cable.
Works better than any other off brand we have tried.
Now we have 6 in this house so that everyone has their own.
Charges almost as fast as any original cord we have used.
The ends are nice and secure when in use.
I find that the braided cables simply out perform any other style for our kids.
Nice that there are different color choices too.
Overall this one is simply the best we have tried.

Definitely an upgrade if you still have a apple charging cable.

Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2020

A common issue I had with factory apple charging cable was that it’s made from plastic and not flexible wires, and it’s also limited to the length of the wire it comes with. Once the materials used for the factory wire wears out, it starts breaking or messing with internal wires because of the amount of flexing it’s done through the years. Amazon basics charging cable far exceeded my expectations because of the quality, the sturdyness, and for how much I paid. I roughly payed $13 for the 6 foot options and on the Apple store it will cost you $29 plus tax same option! The funny thing is that you are paying for the same factory wire that will only last you a year till it’s starts cracking or internally not working. As you can see in the pictures, amazon basics makes apple look inferior in all ways. For physical description about the item, the wire bends as if you were bending a hangar, so you can mold it into what ever angle you want it if you desire. The end pieces like the lighting connector or the usb connector are made from aluminum which looks really sharp and modern and not cheaply made! The last thing I can think of is that once you plug it in your phone, it feels sturdy and won’t move side to side which I assume because of the better material used.

The braid is stiff and unwieldy. The picture is heavily retouched. I was looking for a white, flexible cable. Made a mistake.

This charger is great! I’ve been looking for a reliable charger for a little while now that doesn’t break within a week and this does it for me. It’s also true to picture and length.

A must buy! Fast Charging and Sturdy! Very Happy with Purchase!

I purchased this 6ft replacement iPhone charger after my Apple iPhone charger kept giving me the error message "This accessory may not be supported" error message. After reading the product description and reviews, I purchased this charger. It charges my iPhone quickly and is extremely sturdy with a braided durable cord that is well made. It plugs snugly and firmly into my iPhone much better than my Apple charger and the 6 ft option is a wonderful length. I am extremely happy with my purchase and will purchase additional chargers as well for the other iPhones in our family. This charger is a much better quality than other chargers you can purchase at other retailers. I highly recommend this charger.

They don’t charge very fast.

Cables themselves seem sturdy enough. However, using the same power supply, they charge my iPad at about a quarter of the speed of the OEM cable. That’s just too slow. Can’t recommend unless you only charge overnight and are not worried about charging speed.

Excellent quality.

After I ordered my most recent cords, I went into my Prime account to see how long the last round had lasted. It was over two years in some cases, over three in one.
I keep chargers plugged in all over the house, so all of these are getting a fair amount of use (bedside table and home office desk get the most), and none have “died” in less than two years. After wearing out of original manufacturer cords within six months (which are also significantly more expensive), I can’t imagine a better value.

Horrible customer service, both cords failed within 90 days

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2021

Style: 6-FootSize: 2 PackColor: Rose Gold - UpgradeVerified Purchase

Both cables failed within 90 days, and then the company has made it basically impossible to get them replaced. I literally gave them the exact invoice that Amazon customer support sent me and they keep asking me for a different one, and Amazon support kept telling me to “insist it’s the right one.” They still wouldn’t take it. I’ve previously bought about 6 packs of Amazon Basics charging cords over the years, but this experience makes me never want to buy from them again. I ended up just buying a different brand because I couldn’t bother to spend any more time with tech support or any more frustration trying to talk to the guys in the foreign factory.

One cord simply stopped working with no visible damage, and the other fell apart where the cord meets the lightning plug. It didn’t see any more wear and tear than my previous Amazon Basics charging cords, but this was the first of this variety I tried (I normally get the ones that are bumpy/have rings on the flexible plastic part, don’t know how to describe it). Sad it didn’t even last 3 months.

Dang it, I really want to give this 5-stars **edited update! 5-stars**

Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2020

**This review has been updated. See below**

I love Amazon Basics brand as it is typically a great value for the money. This product was no exception on the face of it for how cheap it is and for a braided cable and the length. Braided cable is the way to go as the typical hard rubber/plastic cables are terrible. They crease, get kinked, and tangle way too easy. The braided cable doesn't do any of that and it just has a great feel to it. I ordered the red cable to sort of stick out so I know which cable is mine in the house, and it's actually a really nice color of red. The only reason I gave this 4 stars is that after about a month of using it every day (it is my bedside charging cable) it is starting to do what my other Amazon Basics cables have done on me, pull away from the phone rather easily. I don't know what it is but this isn't the first Amazon Basic cable that has done this to me. Cord plugs in nice and firm, so you think, you pick up the phone and hear that noise that it has come unplugged, give the cord an ever so slight tug, and out it comes. The charging cable still works and as it is my bedside plug I don't need to have it do anything but sit on my night stand. That's why I gave it 4 stars, it still works just fine. But if it coming unplugged is indicative of your experience too, and you need this charger to be a bit more "rugged" then you may want to bump up in price and name brand.

**********Updated 12/07/20***********
Boy I feel like an idiot! Turns out that the reason the cable was falling out easily was the phone case. This wasn’t obvious at first because the opening on the case for the charger is plenty wide enough and doesn’t hinder the plug at all. Where it was apparently not open enough was the top and bottom of the opening, but just barely. It slid in and out with no problem and no force required so I didn’t realize that it was juuuuuuuust too slim of an opening that caused it to keep from securely going all the way in the phone and securing itself for a good charge. There is nothing wrong with this cable as I’ve given it to my wife and it holds absolutely fine on her phone. I had updated the star review from 4 up to 5 due to this.
