For all those that got an iphone 8/8+ in the recent Optus deal or an X for Christmas and are looking for a fast charging cable!
Recently discovered that Apple are no longer the only option that some manufacturers are now selling lightning to usb c cables. I bought a genuine Apple one during the Myer price error deal but was still wanting another. There are several available on Amazon US but found one the other night on Amazon Au. As it's a 2 pack and braided it's definitely an upgrade on the Apple ones if they work hence the bargain. Now I'm not sure of the quality as yet. They don't appear to have mifi certification and they appear to be rebranded goods but their product description is to be believed they do work. I ordered a pair the other day because I want test these but have yet to receive, take note the shipping times are ridiculous for a local product and DO NOT selected expedited shipping. No guarantee they will work but I figured this would be a good chance to test Amazon's returns if they don't so I took a chance. Purchase at your own discretion.
Charging and Sync Data :
Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with Lightning connector to your MacBook with USB-C port or MacBook Pro
with Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports for syncing and charging. You can also use this cable with your Apple 29W, 61W, or 87W USB-C Power Adapter to charge your iOS device.
DURABLE AND STURDY:
Portable, durable and flexible braided cable, suitable to a variety of everyday connection and charging needs Note:
This cable has been successfully upgraded on 11.26 2017 and has been fully supported by PD fast charging.
In order to protect your iPhone, the smart chip will automatically reduce the current when the power reaches 80%, which is a normal phenomenon. Please feel free to use it.
What You Get:
3.3ft/1M and 6.6ft / 2M USB type c to lightning cable.
24-month warranty and 30-day Money Refund.
I have one of these and can confirm there a good cable. Carry good amperage through to the device and pretty sturdy.
Like poster mentioned post is a challenge. Local seller yet they come from China.
Mine took for ever to arrive, mainly due to Fastway couriers in Australis. There service was a disgrace.
Would highly recommend the cable though.
