The cord I bought was for my phone to connect to my laptop and keep it synched and charged while I wasn't using it. Great product!

Reliable cord (lightning to usbc) that I needed to connect my newer MacBook to my iPhone 7plus. The insulation is thicker than the stock charging cord (lightning to the old style usb). Can also use this to charge my phone directly to the MacBook charging wall brick, a plus I didn’t think about until I looked it up. I love usb-C, plug it in either way correctly, the first time.

I bought one of the new 11 inch iPad Pros and it comes with the new 19W usb charger. I like to keep my chargers and cords to a minimum (which Apple is NOT helping with) so I purchased this cord so that I can just carry one charger and two cords when I travel. It does seem to charge the iPhone faster than normal so that is a plus!
BTW, make sure the price is correct at your Best Buy. Some have shown it priced at $24.99 but it should only be $19.99 (which is the Apple price and the price online).

I’m very happy with the Apple USB-C charging cable it teams with the Apple USB-C charger. It speeds up the charging time on my iPad, iPad Pro, and a iPhone 8. It is an pricy investment but for me it’s worth it.

This Apple - 3.3' USB-C to Lightning Cable is made very well. It gives a good indication that the newer iPhones may come with the new 18W charger that has a USB-C port on it. And of course keep the Lighting Port on the iPhone for a while longer. Not sure if Apple will go with a USB-C port on their iPhones. You can definitely utilize this cable though with every model of an iPhone or iPad that has a Lightning port and take advantage of an 18W USB-C charger. This cable helps eliminate having to settle for the cheap 5W or 10W chargers that take forever to charge your devices.

So this is an awesome product. Unlike my other reviews, I'm all about this cord. Reason being is because I can use it in my Ram 1500 and it charges super quick. Back in the day, I would have to use the plug to charge quickly because the lightening cable only did a trickle charge. This one... is awesome! The only con is the astronomical prices that Apple gets away with charging for a dang cord. I mean come on... it probably costs somewhere between $0.05 - 0.25 to make this product that they charge over $20 for. It's crazy.

Good product overall.
Should be 5 dollars cheaper being that it is a charging cable but it’s Apple so it is what it is. Works great with my Aukey USB-c power plug which is faster than the one Apple sells.

I've always hated how much Apple cords cost, but those Geniuses like to blame failing batteries on using off-market cords. So when I bought my new MacBook Pro, I figured I'd buy a new lightning to USB-C cable to have the fastest charging/syncing possible.
Here's hoping it lasts a long time and doesn't cause my battery to swell or anything...

This cable works fine. Apple has been changing their connections from USB to Lightening to USB c as frequently as humans change their clothing. This cable helps me connect my Lightening connection devices to my new MAC Book Pro with its usb-c portts and it works smoothly thus far. Wish it were less expensive but that is apple.

This charges my first generation iPad Pro 12.9 inch twice as fast in about 2.5 hours. It also charges my Samsung galaxy note 8. I use this with my MacBook Pro 61 W kilowatt battery charger. Now I can charge my MacBook Pro iPad Pro and my Samsung galaxy note 8 (fast charging) using the same charger.

The iPad and iPhone X only include the standard USB-A to lighting cable, which provides must slower charging times. If you have a fast charge capable device such as the iPad Pro or iPhone 8 and up then a USB-C to lightning cable and the necessary power adapter (30W), is highly recommended.

First off, this cable is very expensive being that it uses the MFi lightning license. Pair it with the 35 W charger to quickly charge your Apple Devices. It’ll decrease charging times from 2-3 hours to 1-2 hours. It really wished the iPhones used USB-C, but oh well.

All cables have their issues, and most don't last forever. That said, the Apple branded cables seem more reliable to me and coupled with the 30W charger I find this works great for both my iPhone X and my iPad, charing much quicker than the more traditional chargers.
