Since the release of the iPhone 8, fast charging has been possible on iOS, although you couldn’t always find affordable Lightning cables to use. Fortunately, this has changed since then, as other companies can also produce MFi-certified Lightning cables and offer them at much higher prices. For example, take this 3-foot RAVPower USB-C to the Lightning Cable. It’s usually available for just $14, while Apple’s official version of this cable is nearly $20. You can save even more today thanks to a coupon and pick up the RAVPower cable for just $9.99 when you enter the TILG76WS promotion code during checkout. That saves you in the process of almost 30 percent.
Also on sale, this longer 6-foot version of this cable. Use the L8Y6RBR4 coupon code during checkout to collect one for just $12.99 while the last supply. Compared to Apple’s $35 2M cable, which is the same length and provides the same charging speeds at more than twice the cost.
You’re going to want a USB-C Power Delivery wall charger to charge your iPhone quickly once this cable gets to your home. Using the RAVPower cable with a USB-C adapter, you can charge your iPhone in 30 minutes from 0 percent to 50 percent. Fast charging is also working on the latest iPad models from Apple.
These cables also work for high-speed data transfers up to 480Mbps, as well as supporting fast charging. If you have upgraded to a new MacBook and no longer have a full-size USB-A port, such cables are an absolute necessity. At this price, to keep around the house, at the office, and in your various travel bags, it’s worth grabbing a few.
With a 30,000 bend lifespan and reinforced connectors, the RAVPower cable should last longer than the Apple version too. On orders totaling $25 or more, or with Amazon Prime, shipping is free.
