Hi looking for advice on best iPhone charging cables. Being a true ozbargainer I cannot buy the genuine apple charging cords they are $30 for a single charging cable. The aftermarket ones I buy on eBay or Amazon are usually rubbish and typically fail within a week or two and I have thrown a number of these out. What are Ozbargainer recommendations for aftermarket charging cables?
Aftermarket iPhone Chargers Always Failing - Any Suggestions?

You get what you pay for
GeNuInE ApPeL cables keep the house quite warm during the winter. Highly recommend
I heard Anker cables are pretty good and Amazon reviews would agree.
Your "true ozbargainer" status seems to be to be taking a battering if you keep buying cheap rubbish cables instead of one good one.
spends $60 on rubbish cables that keep breaking
won't spend $30 on one that would have lasted the entire time
Ozbargain logic.
AmazonBasics, Xiaomi ZMI, Anker or BlitzWolf. Never had a problem with any of those brands.
I second Blitzwolf for my lightening cables, but for some reason, their USB-C cables all fail to charge on my iPad Air that comes with the USB-C port. It charges all my other USB-C devices without any issues.
Baseus, vention, ugreen so far so good
Kmart one is fine.
The ones from Costco have been great. Have been using for three or so years now. 2 for $30.
Anker and baseus been OK for me.
I only buy genuine Apple cables because a cable failing is always disastrous. I buy official cables and am gentle with them and they never break. My days of third party cables that stop working or need to be held at a special angle to work are over. I also only have fast charging USB C cables now because my days of slow charging are over too.
I get the cygnett armoured ones and usually shop around and get jb hi to price match. Yes costs more than the non branded ones, but they have a thicker cabling protector. They also come with 5 years warranty so guaranteed to work at least five years or they just give you a replacement.
i buy "repilicas" on aliexpress, they last like 2-3 years
I used to buy the cheap clones but got sick of them stopping working after a few uses so we just use genuine Apple chargers in the house now
Energizer metal ones going strong. Have about 6 of them
Only chargers we use. Available at woolworths from memory and rrp was overs but were often on sale. Haven’t had to buy one for ages though. Came in a small metal case, may have been branded “high tech”
never yank it, never step on it, it last years, fail to do that, it fails all the time
Used kogan lightning cables they lasted 1-2 years, and then tried out AmazonBasics and they have lasted 1 yr so far (no issues yet)
