Iphone Lightning Cable Portable Charger

This charger had no problem quickly charging an iPhone 8 using a ToughTested USB-A to Lightning cable also purchased from B&H.

Using the 6 foot cable to power my lightning charger on my nightstand. Excellent cable.

Excellent authentic Apple power adapter for plugging iPhone lightning cable to wall outlet. B&H always has those tidbits we cannot live without, thank you!!

I use this to connect anything with a standard headphone cable to my iPhone Lightning port (older selfie stick, older Square reader, earbuds and headphones).

The killer app for this device (for me) was that connecting the receiver to an iPhone with the usb-c to lightning cable maintains discrete stereo separation for recording to several video applications. Tested working on ProMovie and MoviePro. The magnets are very capable of holding the transmitters onto a shirt during vigorous activity.   )) significant note: Noise cancellation only works when conveying the signal through the receiver to a camera or smart phone.

This is an adapter, NOT a cable. That said, as an adapter it does it's job well. I have used it to plug my iPhone (Lightning) into my PC (both USB-C and USB-A) to transfer files and it worked without a hitch. Useful as an adapter, but not long enough to be called a cable by any means.

In order to use my old iPhone 5c with the Rode Micro microphone, this cable was necessary. I adapted it to my iPhone 7 lightning port as a test and it didn't work. I didn't investigate because the plan was to use the mic with the old phone anyway, so it might have worked and could have been my set up.

As an engineer I can tell you the USB standard is way too general. There are so many variables. When you connect any USB device to any other USB device a little dance is performed. The device which is plugged in will ask who are you?, Device says I am XYZ and used for XYZ purpose. My version is XYZ, and I am brand XYZ. The computer, or iPhone will decide if it wants to let the device continue to do its task (charge, bluetooth, video, etc) For charging, speed is always best. You might think you saved a lot of money Not buying Apple branded cables or power adapters. But think again. Third party tests are out there showing hard data for using third party chargers/cable combinations. Test results for.. Apple charger with Apple Cable Samsung charger with Apple Cable Apple charger with Samsung Cable Other charger with other cable etc. The studies always show Apple charger with Apple Cable is the only combination which works as fast as possible (i.e. Meets the claims Apple makes). Important: If you are going to buy a third party cable or power adapter, look for a label Made for iPhone, Made for iPad (MFi Certified). This way you know the metal leads, voltages, and that little dance all have been looked at by Apple.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great 3 in 1 charging unit for all of my portable Apple devices. I bought a second one so I could keep one in a guest room and take it with me on trips. The Magsafe charger works like a charm on my Iphone and unlike other Iphone chargers, is not so finicky about where you place it on the charger.

Plug and play. Great for iPhone with lightning adapter for the headset.
