We’ve all been tempted by those too-cheap-to-believe $10 packs of charging cables. Cables feel like a thing that should be cheap, and the prices charged by first-party manufacturers like Apple and Samsung can be hard to justify. But be warned: those cheap charging cables aren’t worth the trouble.

Along with Apple cables that come with Apple products, we extensively use and highly recommend Anker cables and, for that matter, Anker chargers, especially Anker’s new fast GaN chargers.
