Product Information

Put simply, MFI Certification (Made for iPhone) is a standardised testing process that many third-party or officially licensed iPhone charging cables must go through before hitting the market, ensuring that they are safe for use. Basically, if you see this symbol on a product, you know that it has been rigorously tested ready to be plugged in for years to come. How can I spot a fake cable? Testing conducted by Apple in February 2022 using pre-production iPhone SE (3rd generation) units and software, and accessory Apple USB-C Power Adapter (20W Model A2305). Don’t just look at the price. Look at what you want to do now, and what you might want to do next year. For example, an 18W charger will fast charge your iPhone, but it’s not powerful enough to run a MacBook Pro. A more powerful one may be a better option for your future tech arsenal.

iPhones have long supported faster charging with a 12W iPad adapter, and Apple improved on that rate by introducing fast charging via USB Power Delivery (PD) with the release of the iPhone 8 in 2017. Most newer iPhones, such as the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14, can charge at between 25W and 27W.

FAQ

I have multiple devices to charge. The USAMS Multi-Charging Cable consists of four cables—two lightning cables, one USB-C, and one micro USB. The most durable iPhone lightning cables usually feature a combination of matte-textured rubber, aluminum alloy sheathing, and braided nylon, making them stretch and pull-resistant. Remember reinforced connectors and strong insulation, which lengthen the cable’s lifespan. When traveling, this is a must. Less durable options are typically made of plastic and PVC, which tend to fray and wear out. Choosing an adapter with more power is a good idea because the newest iPhones can benefit from that extra juice. For instance, the iPhone 13 Pro can achieve wired charging speeds of 20W or higher, while reports indicate the iPhone 13 Pro Max can reach speeds up to 27W with the right charger. Switching from a lower wattage charger to a higher wattage charger typically boosts the rate at which a charge is pushed into a device's battery. This depends on circuitry in both the charger and the device. The higher the wattage, the higher the charging rate, or "speed" if you will.

If you plan to charge the iPhone, iPad Pro, and laptop, you'll want cables with a 100W charge capacity or higher.
