TL;DR: As of June 9, get this Braided MFI Certified USB-C to Lightning Cable(opens in a new tab) for only $21.99 — that's a 21% discount.


As the rest of the tech world moves on to adapt USB-C, Apple is sticking to their guns with their dear Lightning port and connector. After all, they invented it, so it only makes sense that they want their gadgets to only work with the proprietary technology. But Apple-issued Lightning wires are notorious for having a relatively short lifespan, fraying a few months after purchase.

Rumor has it that the Cupertino tech giant might ditch the Lightning entirely for universality's sake, but it may take a while until we see that come to fruition — if at all. Your best bet is to get yourself a sturdy cord that will endure daily wear-and-tear,(opens in a new tab) like this MFI-certified USB-C to Lightning cable, on sale for 21 percent off for a limited time.

The thing about Apple's proprietary Lightning cable is it prioritizes form over function, resulting in flimsy connectors that never last. But this braided cable(opens in a new tab) is developed with durability in mind, crafted out of a tough, two-shade nylon that's much less prone to snagging. Its rugged construction makes it more resistant to fraying too.

On top of its durability, this cable also offers quick charging and speedy data transmission. It's designed to power up your devices 80 percent faster than regular power cords, and it transfers up to 480 MB per second, enabling you to sync and transfer music, pictures, files, and other media from one device to another in seconds.

The cable is MFi-certified, meaning it's a third-party product approved by Apple to be used with its devices.

Enjoy enhanced durability and efficiency with this Braided MFI Certified USB-C to Lightning Cable(opens in a new tab). It usually retails for $27, but you can get it on sale for only $21.99.

Prices subject to change.
