Fast charging has been possible on iOS since the iPhone 8's release, though you couldn't always find affordable Lightning cables to use. Thankfully, that's since changed as companies other than Apple can now produce MFi-certified Lightning cables too and offer them at much better prices. Take this Anker Powerline II Lightning to USB-C Cable. Its price falls to just $11.99 today at Amazon. That's thanks to a direct price drop to $14.99 and coupon code AKCMCTL6 taking a further $3 at checkout. This is the lowest we've ever seen this 6-foot cable go and the deal applies to both the black and white versions so you can take your pick. Shipping is free with Amazon Prime or with orders totaling $25 or more.
This well-rated charge and sync cable features Power Delivery, meaning you'll have access to fast-charging with compatible iOS devices. That means you can get your phone from empty to half full in just 30 minutes. It's designed to be durable, too, with the ability to withstand over 12,000 bends. It being 6-foot long (twice as long as the standard Apple cable) will help with this too as you won't have to use hold the cable in an awkward position to use your phone while charging. The Anker Powerline II might be the last USB-C to Lightning cable you'll ever need to buy, as the manufacturer backs it with a hassle-free lifetime warranty.
Anker's cables are MFi-certified so you won't get that annoying pop-up saying the cable isn't supported like you might get with cheaper alternatives. Note that a wall charger isn't included. If you don't have one around, Anker has plenty of options if you want to pick one up as well.
