Apple has been slowly moving away from its proprietary, decade-old Lightning port to the superior, universally-adopted USB Type-C. For example, the latest iPads all have a USB-C port for charging and data transfer.
Despite that, many devices still depend on the inferior port, such as AirPods, iPhones, and some Mac accessories. Consequently, as an Apple user, you will likely need at least one Lightning cable.
Apart from being fragile, Apple's Lightning cables are also expensive, and you can easily find better and cheaper alternatives.
So if you are in the market for a new Lightning cable because your existing cable is broken or lost — or maybe you need an extra for travel or office — we have handpicked the best Lightning cables that you can buy right now.
You’ll find two types of Lightning cables on the market: USB Type-C to Lightning and USB Type-A to Lightning. The Type-C to Lightning cables are future-proof and offer faster charging speeds, while the Type-A cables are slower, and the Type-A ports are also slowly being phased out.
Which one you get depends on what is present on the other end of the device you are connecting with — so check the ports on your charger or computer to see if you need USB Type-A or USB Type-C.
