AmazonBasics USB-C to Lightning Cable 6 ft White MFi 18W

Apple MFi Certified Lightning Cable

This six-foot AmazonBasics USB-C to Lightning cable carries Apple MFi certification, so it connects directly to iPhone 14, 13, 12, 11, X series, 8, 7, 6, 5, SE, iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad mini, iPad, iPod Touch and Beats Pill+ without compatibility warnings. The male-to-male design links a Lightning device to any USB-C port on a computer, charger or power bank for both charging and data sync. White nylon-braided construction includes textured connector grooves for grip and has been tested to withstand repeated 90-degree bends.

Users who need a direct USB-C link

Buyers with iPhone 12 or later models who own an 18 W or higher USB-C Power Delivery charger can reach 50 % battery in roughly 30 minutes, while the USB 2.0 interface moves music, photos and backups at up to 480 megabits per second. The cable does not support higher USB speeds, so anyone moving large video libraries or requiring faster throughput should look at a USB 3 or USB 4 alternative. Android devices and accessories that lack a Lightning port cannot use this cable.

USB 2.0 data rate decides fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the 480 megabits per second USB 2.0 transfer rate; if your workflow depends on faster wired sync, this cable will be a bottleneck. For standard charging, everyday backups and occasional file moves the speed is adequate, but professional video offloads or high-volume data transfers need a cable rated for a higher USB generation.
